Yes, it is quite common to use multiple AV scanners with amavisd-new. The only drawback is that it increases the amount of time a message takes to get through your system. >Is it possible to do some type of >fail back to another AV if one fails? amavisd-new uses the concept of "primary" scanners and "secondary" scanners. During normal operation only the primary scanners are used. If *all* the primary AV scanners fail with an error or are unavailable, then all secondary scanners will be tried. If all secondary scanners then fail, mail will be queued for later. A common setup is to use a fast daemonized scanner as the primary, and a slower command line scanner as the secondary in case the daemon dies. see the comments in amavisd.conf. -- Noel Jones ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
