No one. Only very old installs, not all installs.
So who made who god to decide which servers get shutdown?
No servers were shutdown. And the creators of the software and
providers
of the updates (same people) decided, which is their right as the
creators
of the software and the providers of the updates. If you don't
like it,
then don't use their updates and/or software. Your choice.
This is semantics, servers/services were stopped and this is no good
no
matter what.
There are tons of other situations that spread out virus too and
clamav team
cannot avoid them all too.
Causing interruption of a service one does not manage and is not
responsible
for is totally intrusive to say the less.
I just hope all this noise contributes to such situation never to
happen
again in any software I use or manage.
If one can consider this as normal just because it was announced to
happen,
I should subscribe to the kernel list immediately. Should I?
LOL
No, servers / services stopped because that is what the SA (or whoever
you want to blame for setting up the system) CHOSE to have happen! If
you want mail to be delivered when clamd fails, configure your system
to do so I personally prefer to have my mail stopped rather than
irresponsibly sending mail. If spam / infected mail were not a
problem, then open relay mail systems would be the norm and not
blacklisted..... Alas, we do not live in a perfect world :^(
So, if you feel that the "Mail must go through", configure your system
to do so and stop whining that you failed to have your system
configured to do what YOU wanted it to do.
