*What* is it that you have configured to check every 5 min? There are two main periodic checks, the check by freshclam that the copy of the database on your local storage medium is up to date, and the check by clamd that it has an up to date copy of the local database in memory. The clamd daemon does *not* check the status of the local database on disc against the remote database maintained by the ClamAV team. It is the freshclam utility which does that.
Does amavis need to be reloaded too?
I don't know - please explain how you have configured Amavis and ClamAV to work with each other. If Amavis is using the clamd daemon over a socket, then you probably don't need to reload Amavis but you will need to make sure that clamd reloads its database when it detects that a database change has taken place. It can do that itself, or you can configure freshclam to notify it when an update happens. It's all in the documentation.
i have the feeling
Your feeling is not much use to us. Is there something concrete which gives you this feeling and which you can show to us?
that new "learned" virus will not be detect by amavis + clamav.
ClamAV has no way of creating "learned" signaturees. It uses only the data in its database, which you must arrange to be provided to it and to be kept up to date - for example by running freshclam.
after some time amavis detect this virus without doing anything.
Please be more precise.
Does this behavior changed in the last month?
The behaviour of ClamAV has not changed except perhaps for faults which may have been fixed. These will be listed in the release notes. I cannot speak for the behaviour of Amavis, you probably need to talk to the Amavis people about that. -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
