Seems there is some confusion about whether or not AVAFTERJM prevents AV from running. Some say it does and some say it doesn't matter - AV still runs on all messages.
So, I guess we first need to have someone from Declude tell us, FOR SURE, which it is. There isn't much in either section 9.1 or elsewhere in the JM manual and I didn't find anything in the AV manual about AVAFTERJM. So, DECLUDE, does, under any circumstances, AVAFTERJM cause AV not to be ran on a message? In the event that Declude responds that AV is prevented from running under some or all circumstances by using AVAFTERJM, then: 1. It seems to me that if you are holding messages which were not AV scanned and which could later be dropped into the queue for processing, that eventually Murphy will make sure that a virus infected message is released to an end-user. 2. You are putting a bandaid on a gunshot wound or treating the symptom rather than the disease. If you are starved for cycles, plan to scale up or use gateways to separate the processes and reduce the bottleneck.
