You'd need to modify the existing clamav-milter, which might be quite an undertaking if you're not familiar with milters, or perhaps write a separate milter. I've written a milter which could easily be modified to do this. I call it 'eXtensible-Milter', XM. At present it doesn't call clamd at all - clamav-milter does that here. Until now I've had no particular reason to replace clamav-milter although XM has replaced half a dozen other milters which were giving me assorted troubles, and now I use only the two. The idea of the possibility of a 'clamd farm' is intriguing. If you'd be interested I can think about adding such functionality to XM. Hmmm. On reflection, 'easily' might have been an overstatement but at worst in principle it's easy and it's very doable. :) XM is written in pure Perl, and at the moment it has only ever been used with Sendmail. It hasn't been published. -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
