[Declude.Virus] AVAFTERJM ?
Title: AVAFTERJM ? Hello all, We make use of the latest Declude version (spam+virus) Pro. What does the AVAFTERJM option do? Antivirus scanning after Junkmail I suppose? What is the default? First scanning viruses followed by scanning for spam? Due to the large amounts of spam I would suggest first filtering out spam followed by possible viruses? Is that correct? Regards, Marcel
[Declude.Virus] Bypassing ban extensions
I have some particular users for whom I want to virus scan their messages but would like to by-pass the holding on banned extension under normal circumstances. Is there anything in the current release or the beta that would allow this? If not, my suggestion would be BYPASSBAN Sender [EMAIL PROTECTED] BYPASSBAN Recpt [EMAIL PROTECTED] or maybe just BYPASSBAN [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- bypass whether sender or recp't. NOBYPASSprice.zip NOBYPASS(etc.) This would allow specifying the people who would not be held as long as their message did not contain a specified/known problem attachment. I realize there are some potential issues here, but that should be up to the individual administrator to decide upon. Thanks, John --- This E-mail came from the Declude.Virus mailing list.

Re: [Declude.Virus] AVAFTERJM ?
Marcel, AVAFTERJM ON goes in the virus.cfg file and it makes AV run after JM as you suspected. Several of us run this mode for the reason you cited. The only deal you have to remember is if something is trapped by JM and you put it back in the queue it will not be virus scanned. Darrell invURIBL - Intelligent URI filtering plug-in for Declude.

RE: [Declude.Virus] AVAFTERJM ?
Title: AVAFTERJM ? If using the AVAFTERJM option in Declude Virus, Declude Virus will run after Declude JunkMail. this is the Processing Order for Imail (taken form the manual). the default is that Declude Virus runs before Declude JunkMail Both IMail and Declude have a number of different tests that they run on E-mail. The order used is as follows: 1. IMails Control Access file (to block IPs) 2. IMails Kill List (to block return addresses) 3. IMail v8 anti-spam (most tests) 4. Declude Virus 5. Declude Hijack 6. Declude JunkMail 7. IMail's filters and extra IMail v8 anti-spam tests Luis Arango From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marcel SangersSent: Jueves, 22 de Septiembre de 2005 03:16 a.m.To: Declude.Virus@declude.comSubject: [Declude.Virus] AVAFTERJM ?

Yes, these are to help adjust for timing with Dual-proc Different systems / configuration respond differently to these settings. In particular they to fine tune through-put with CPU utilization. 1. SLOW server that is heavily loaded You may want to try to increase WAITBETWEENTHREADS and lower THREADS. 2. FAST server Use the THREADS and WAITFORTHREADS to adjust the CPU utilization. When decludeproc first starts up it will use a lot of the CPU but after that the %CPU used by decludeproc should come way down. The %CPU of all processes running may be high depending on external tests, other processes, etc. If the system is spiking but coming down quickly that's good.

Hi David, I can't help but ask... You are proposing options that will help with the dual processor issue. But, are you REPRODUCING the issue and fixing it? I understand that the problem is that the service goes to sleep for 30 seconds, even though there are messages in the PROC folder. Clearly that should not happen. Changing the timings will only create a trade-off by consuming extra machine-resources. Even on a dual-processor system should the service be able to determine reliably if a folder has content or not? I'm just worried that the beta is declared successful when an entire class of machines is only working with a bandage.

RE: [Declude.Virus] Declude Beta 3.0.4.4 Posted
Hi Andy, The directives are for tuning both single and multiprocessor systems. They are not meant as a tradeoff. Some multiprocessor systems do not exhibit the reported sleep for 30 seconds behavior. We have not been able to reproduce it ourselves. This doesn't mean that we do not take it seriously nor does it mean that we have given up. I picked up another dual processor machine tonight and tomorrow we will attempt to reproduce the reported behavior on it. It's hard to fix something that we can't reproduce but we will keep trying. It's not even clear to me that this problem still exists in the latest version. But until the issue is resolved I can assure you we will not give up. If you are having this or any other problems please send us your configuration files along with system specs and log files, debug level is best. The beta is a success thanks to our customers and we do appreciate your efforts. We set out to fix the 8.2 issues. We have accomplished that and fixed some other stuff along the way. The product will not ship bug free. But I do assure you that we will prioritize and address every issue that we know of. Once we have this baseline release, along with fixing bugs we plan on implement some cool new stuff that you guys have asked for. It's precisely because this is a wonderfully active and sharing community that Declude is the premier email vulnerability software solution. Let's keep the dialog, observations, and ideas flowing and I promise that Declude will become even better.

RE: [Declude.Virus] Declude Beta 3.0.4.4 Posted
Thanks Bill. I had gotten the impression as if everyone with dual-processor system was reporting this and that people were still seeing it with the latest version. I have so far not installed the beta, because of those issues - I just don't have a single-processor system to use and was waiting for a beta that addressed this problem. (My feeling was, nothing is gained by briefly installing a system if it's already known not to function on my environment). If you're saying that the dual-processor problem only appears for selected systems and rather the exception than the rule, then I might give it try to see if I get lucky.

The directives are for tuning both single and multiprocessor systems. They are not meant as a tradeoff. Some multiprocessor systems do not exhibit the reported sleep for 30 seconds behavior. We have not been able to reproduce it ourselves. I can produce it on my machine even on version 3.0.4.4. David was also provided remote access to my machine and seen this issue occur when I first reported it under the early beta. It's hard to fix something that we can't reproduce but we will keep trying. It's not even clear to me that this problem still exists in the latest version. I posted earlier (and to the [EMAIL PROTECTED]) that the problem still exists in the latest beta. Again, I can provide remote access to this machine if needed. You can mitigate the effects of this issue by adjusting the waitformail, but it seems to cause more cpu related usage. What concerns me even more than the obvious issue with multiprocessor machines is its excessive use of CPU. This is also included in my beta notes.

FAST server Use the THREADS and WAITFORTHREADS to adjust the CPU utilization. When decludeproc first starts up it will use a lot of the CPU but after that the %CPU used by decludeproc should come way down. The %CPU of all processes running may be high depending on external tests, other processes, etc. If the system is spiking but coming down quickly that's good.
