this workaround works like a charm. i'm happy to hear that the bug has
been fixed. when the bug was discovered, there was a little bit of
discussion on the list about efficiency of clamd+clamav-milter vs
just clamav-milter alone.
which is more efficient:
clamav-milter alone
or
clamav-milter --external + clamd
neither one is harder to configure, really. using the second option
requires two daemons and the first only requires one. besides this,
are there any performance reasons to use one configuration over
the other?
this is on a dedicated mail router: sendmail plus local clamd.
