Hi,

As I was deploying clamav on one organisation, I thought: what if I set up
some sort of 'push' update, e.g.-
- subscribe to clamav-virusdb mailing list with an address routed to the
  clamav server
- each message sent to the list will trigger a script that (among
  other things) launches freshclam on the clamav server.

The objective is to minimize the time in which an organisation has a
non-updated definition.

Of course, on top of all this I will also run freshclam in daemon mode /
cron as contingency.

Anything wrong with this? Thanks..

Why not use a local mirror (a simple shellscript using wget -N should be sufficient) and make all the local freshclams update from there every ten minutes?
Please, don't try such update intervals with the official mirrors....


But I think it's a nice idea, perhaps that may have a go once clamd's new network protocol is able to do what the old one already does.
