To summarize it: 1) DSPAM does not NEED or REQUIRES any ClamAV libraries for being able to talk to a TCP/IP address and port 2) Enabling ClamAV support in DSPAM compiles/enables code that opens a network socket to a IP address and to a port 2.1) That IP address COULD be remote
I leave it up to you now to make the decision if enabling ClamAV support is such a big issue or not. > I never tested this when I first built it as I figured it linked with > clamav and as such would require it to be pulled in.

ClamAV is NOT needed when you enable it and it will not harm your package at all. -- Kind Regards from Switzerland, Stevan Bajić ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
