Two questions were related. In other words i said (wanted to say)
"Shall we use clamav-milter with clamd or without clamd?"
clamav-milter connects to clamd to determine if an email contains a
virus.
Correction:
clamav-milter _can_ connect to clamd ...
It can also do the work itself. The problem with the OP's question is
that the answer is site policy dependant. The only answer is "it's up
to you".
There was (still is?) a bug in recent clamav-milter thread handling
that caused it to time out if it did the work itself. I was forced to
start it with --external which passes the work to running clamd
daemons.
Was. Fixed in clamav-milter-0.85e, which is distributed as part of
clamav-0.86rc1. There are other options than running using --external
to interface with clamd (such as using clmilter_watch[1]), as I've
already said on this list at least once this week. I'll post a link to
the FAQ yet again:
