It's an easy work around but performance is bad if you are spawning processes.
Let me re-state what I have already stated. "nclamd" does *NOT* fork() a process for every e-mail - is that clear enough for you ?
"nclamd" will scan 100 e-mails for each fork() and doesn't exec() at all. IMHO, it will perform well on all Unix based systems.
And then there are BSD systems. Make solution that performs well on all environments. That would be fine.
Marc, Please read both the code and the e-mail I have written and actually try the "nclamd" code, before slagging it off.
My comments about fork() and exec() are simply general observations not specifically related to "clamd" or "nclamd".
But this is going off topic, so I'm not longer going to contribute to this thread.
Thanks for your comments in my defense Thomaz.
