I am Admin... Actually, the mail doesn't make it to my inbox, it gets held in a folder for processing. This could be a better solution under some circumstances. You always have real-time data without having to parse through the maillog whenever you want to look at it. But this is not a major issue for me. I'm just passing along how I'm doing things now. > > What happens if clamd goes down? > > Today I forgot check processes after clamav update... mail server > worked, without check for mail viruses, however.

That may or may not be a good thing depending on your setup. There should probably be an option to reject mail with a 4xx error when clamd is not responding. This, as well as the logging behavior, should be documented in the man page (and probably the README file as well). This second issue is probably the killer for me. I don't want any mail to pass through my server without being scanned if at all possible. Amavis will attempt clamd, then attempt to call clamscan, and then reject the message with a 4xx. You may not want to implement the clamscan call in your program, but you will get wider adoption if you add the 4xx rejection option in case of scanning problems.
