I tried the test mentioned below and noticed my times were almost identical. I found the cause of this to be that my clamdscan was symlinked to clamscan so they were 1 and the same. Then i recalled a step from the qmailrocks (www.qmailrocks.org) installation instructions that says to rename clamdscan -> clamdscan.orig and symlink clamdscan to clamscan. This causes qmailscanner to detect clamuko instead of clamscan.
So, now im thinking, why was this done? Im not sure if anyone here can answer this, but what is clamuko and why would this be preferred over clamdscan? Thanks.
