Hi there,

We're starting to run clamav on more local hosts and were starting to see
rate limiting messages. So I've setup a local private mirror with cvdupdate
... I'm starting to see warnings like:

If it were my choice I'd probably use freshclam rather than cvdupdate,
partly because the docs [1] somewhat discourage use of cvdupdate, partly
because Pypi is a can of worms I wouldn't then have to worry about,
I'm running cvdupdate at the recommended 4 hour interval. Can I run it more
often?
The Pypi site uses 4 hours as an example, but I'm not sure that's
exactly a recommendation. Over at docs.clamav.net [1] it says

Now run this as often as you need, or at least once a day to download/update
the databases:
cvd update

Since it's just using DNS requests to check for updates it's very
lightweight. I feel sure you can make the queries as often as you
think is reasonable, but do bear in mind that updates to the official
signature database aren't especially frequent - a couple of times a
day or thereabouts at most I think.
... I may just have to exclude these types of warnings from logwatch.
I don't think I'd hide them. I'd just ignore them when I saw them,
but at least they'd usefully tell me that something was happening.
Of course it depends on how many you'd get. :/
