I let it scan roughly 20,000 news spool files, and opened an individual connection for each file (not very efficient, of course, but good to get massive concurrency; especially since I ran 5 simultaneous instances of the test-script). Needless to say, ClamAV was quite busy. :) But passed the test with flying colors (AVP would tend to lock up on many concurrent connections). Mighty impressive. ClamAV only lost 2 MB of memory in the process. Reason enough for me to bring ClamAV online on the production server. > I turned off the ScanMail option to avoid future recurrences > but am aware this may be letting some viruses in > (eg in bounce messages). I wrap the ClamAV check in an "alarm" breakout eval call. I give it 5 minutes. If it is not done by then, then I figure something is wrong. Trust is good; being prepared is better. :) So far, I have not witnessed a hung process yet. - Mark _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
