Hello! I'm not sure whether this is an AMaViS question or a clamav question, so please forgive me if I am in the wrong place. Perhaps it's a bit of both.
In short, clamav is consuming too much memory on the server in question. I am wondering if it is possible for AMaViS to use clamav "on-demand", so that the clamd daemon is not consuming precious memory. To be clear, I'm not looking for an "on-access" or "resident" solution, whereby clamav can detect viruses when infected files are accessed on the filesystem. I just don't want clamav living in memory (via clamd) at all times. Instead, I would prefer that AMaViS call "clamscan" each time an email message arrives. Is anybody else doing this? Are there good reasons *not* to (beyond the obvious performance implications)? Thanks for any pointers, -Ben
