Re: [Clamav-users] OpenSource Clamav not ready?

[Eric Becker]

I actually emailed the author this stating that I thought it was an interesting read.  He stated that there weren't any numbers showing the response time when a new virus comes out.  I shared with him my experience of the new Bagle variant outbreak.  I had received updates from Clamav hours before Mcafee had any.  And by the time the Mcafee defs were available, their servers were flooded.   Although, he does bring up a good point about the ScanMail option still not being officially supported.  While I haven't had any problems with the feature on my work's server, it certainly does raise problems with some network admins.   >>>[EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/11 5:29 pm >>>   I was wondering how many clamav users came across this article:   http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1633536,00.asp     The author says, among other things: "Clearly the biggest need these days in   an anti-virus system is for scanning e-mail, and here's where ClamAntiVirus   scares me. According to the manual, mail support is turned off by default   because it 'is still under development and may cause stability problems.'   Yikes!...In certain circles ClamAntiVirus is highly respected, but that's at   least partially for lack of anything else to respect."     I haven't had any stability problems myself and was just wondering if users   perceive clamav to be as experimental as the author suggests.  I know we   haven't reached a 1.0 version, yet, but it's all been good for me so far.     Regards,   Matt         -------------------------------------------------------   SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media   100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33   Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift.   http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285     Clamav-users mailing list   [EMAIL PROTECTED]   https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/clamav-users
