I have a novice question. I am running clamav on a W2003server (clamWin / cygwin) and are very happy with it. I use it through the clamscan interface, but expect to be able to run much faster using clamav and clamdscan.
That depends on several factors.
For instance I have a CommuniGate mail server that uses the cgFilterMessages filter, it has the option of using clamdscan or clamscan, and for low volume it makes no difference.
But you are right, there could be a difference with higher messaging volume.
Unfortunately I cannot read the man pages except in "raw" format, which is not very convenient.
Can I read the clamav.conf parameter description somewhere on the net ?
Or does anybody know a Win-based man reader ?
Cygwin's man is what I use. But I assume you installed only ClamWin not Cygwin... which BTW includes in its distribution clamav so, for a mail server, you don't need ClamWin which is really for end users.
I could run "man clamd.conf > clamd.conf.txt" and send it to you, if you like.
One note about Clamav/Cygwin, using the last "stable" Cygwin release you will notice that clamd uses an increasing number of UDP ports. The problem is in Cygwin and its implementation of threads, it has been corrected but the snapshots have other problems and changes so I don't recomend using them. But the point is, and you'll see people talking that clamd is not stable under Windows when they don't really know, that it can work very well, the maintainer for Cygwin seems to be doing a good job (I don't use it because I spent a lot of time tracking the problem and know how to correct it).
