Hi. I have been following the thread about "EOL" and "Move to next version of clamav" which stopped a few mailservers ... I do not want to take sides here, this is NOT what this email is about.
This is a suggestion. Simply to make sure that everyone gets the message NEXT time wouldn't it be possible to let "freshclam" warn people and put a message into the (freshclam) logs like: "WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is END OF LIFE!" "WARNING: this version of clamav (X.Y.Z) will be EOL soon!" "PLEASE PANIC: Read http://www.clamav.net/support/faq/panic"; Maybe even send an email to the admin address with the same content? Please point the page to a page which describes the problem straight away not onto the first page of the FAQ, so people really get the message. For people who have OLDER versions of OS's [1] maybe have a webpage showing how to quickly compile a new version??? Just an idea. Jobst [1] there are valid reasons not to upgrade. * I used to look after a system that had some hardware on it with drivers for a particular OS * I used to look after a system that had software on it that cost a fortune relying on a certain OS. * SME's sometime do not have the money but prefer Linux!!! -- Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker? | |0| | Jobst Schmalenbach, jo...@barrett.com.au, General Manager | | |0| Barrett Consulting Group P/L & The Meditation Room P/L |0|0|0| +61 3 9532 7677, POBox 277, Caulfield South, 3162, Australia _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
