We definitely do that already. It's insane not to do that these days. We use a lot of different signatures from different sources with Clam and there's enough doubt about some of them that quarantining is preferred, and it's definitely saved us a few times. > The FreeBSD ports for ClamAV are usually up-to-date.

The only reason I'm sort of interested in the port at this point is that it seems to do a certain amount of work for you if you want to use the milter...but I'm quite content to continue compiling on my own, if I can just figure out what I'm supposed to do the first time. And if clamav-milter is really what I want. If it's not, then I don't need to change my clammerings at all. > You did not mention your MTA. Oops, sorry. We're married to sendmail at this point.
