Dear ClamAV users, we are seeing a lot of useless traffic on our mirror servers. It looks like there are many broken freshclam clients still running.
Once again, we urge you to upgrade to ClamAV 0.80 and take advantage of the new DNSDatabaseInfo option, which allows to check for a new version of the database with a single DNS query. Until you do, please keep the check frequency below once per hour. Abusing clients will be added to a black list and won't be able to download our database anymore. We ask you to verify that your freshclam setup is correct, in particular: 1) if you run freshclam from crontab, check that you have an entry like the following: N * * * * /usr/local/bin/freshclam --quiet where N is a random integer between 3 and 57 and is not a multiple of 10. Do NOT use anything like this: * * * * * /usr/local/bin/freshclam --quiet */N * * * * /usr/local/bin/freshclam --quiet 2) if you run freshclam from crontab, make sure that you are _not_ using the -d flag (see the manpage for more info).
