From the original email, it appears ClamAV requires more available, real,
RAM than the largest file it will handle. This would make me think when
installing: how *much* more RAM will it need? What is the largest size
email I can handle on this machine based on that? I might want to
reconfigure my email server. Or I might want to turn off scanning over a
certain size. Neither sounds like something I want to do while installing
a virus scanner.
I find it natural that an email message has to fit in server's memory
while being scanned for viruses. Email was probably not meant to be used
for huge file transfers anyway. Leave alone scanning it for viruses...
If you want to use email in such extraordinary way, you are going to
have to pay for it... the price of RAM :)
