Not if it cost money, and probably not even if it were free, although I'd definitely want to read the syllabus. > If yes, what would you like to see covered in the course? And if no? I'd have thought that people who feel the need to attend a course wouldn't be the best people to ask. They don't know what needs to be covered. If you want to know what people want to know you could find many suggestions by reading the mailing list archives. Certainly you should at least explain the differences between scanning mail and scanning a file or a disc; running a daemon and running a task; cover setting up the popular mailservers (Sendmail, Exim, Postfix, ?) to use ClamAV; the configuration file and command line options; the databases, their structure and contents; the database mirrors; use of the various supplementary databases and rolling your own. A more advanced course could cover the use of separate servers for scanning and serving mail, and more interesting applications such as scanning for old libraries. You could help improve the documentation. FAQs suck, and there might be dozens of them in various states of (in)completeness. Wikis vary, they often finish up as glorified HOWTOs and don't give you the big picture. Maintenance is often an issue. There's really no substitute for a good manual, written by someone who knows the product and its application inside-out and who cares about it. (Then there's really no substitute for reading it. :) > Are you interested in achieving ClamAV certification?
