Re: [Qmail-scanner-general]War Stories/Advice: Q-S w/NAI Cmd Line Scanner

[Murriel G. Perez Dev]

When we first spec'd it all out, NAI seemed to be the least expensive and most reliable, at least from the general overview.

 

ClamAV had originally been our first choice, but management was concerned about relative efficiency compared with commercial scanners, availability of support, and recovery/conversion in the case that the project was discontinued or definitions no longer updated.

 

From the sounds of it though, it seems like it might be worth taking another shot at pushing ClamAV.

 

Thanks,

Murriel

Any reason for that choice? It doesn't have a daemon version - so it will be slower than other options (such as the free and very good ClamAV)

I'd imagine quite a large percentage of Qmail-Scanner sites met that criteria. Works fine.
