All, I was strugling with clamav this weekend for a few hours without any success. So, I decided to ask it on this mailing list. Hopefully someone can give me a hand and point me in the correct direction...
Clamav is running from qmail-scanner on my site and is working quite well. The only thing I have, is when a user sends an email with a large attachement (>4Mb) from Outlook Express for example. The mailserver happilly accepts this email and starts checking if the attachement contains a virus. While the server does this, it keeps the smtp session open. The problem is now that attachements >4Mb are taking ages to scan. The CPU is now busy for 100% running clamscan. Because the users connect with Outlook Express this application will now say to the user that the mailserver is not responding (since the smtp session is still open) and asks the user what to do, wait or stop ? With this in mind I have the following questions: 1) Can I configure clamscan so it will operate faster ? 2) Can I configure qmail-scanner to disconnect the smtp session and starts clamav in the background (probably a qmail-scanner question) ? 3) Does anyone have experience with such a setup ? Thanks in advance ! Regards, Jan _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
