The question is: how much of a problem is this really? What I mean is that I haven't had a crash problem ever, and that means about 10 years of using clamd on a mail server. The only problem is with clamd becoming unresponsive every time it checks its database. For that I use clamdwatch with a very long time-out. The underlying problem, of course, is the 4 minutes it takes clamd to check all the databases I use (I have several 3rd party) and that it can't be optimized for the sparc architecture (the JIT part of clamd doesn't support sparc currently, LLVM does say it does, sparcv9 which is what I have) but that's a subject for another thread. -- René Berber _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
