RE: [IMail Forum] Problem with Declude Anti-Virus

[Madscientist]

I have experienced this as well when we were having other problems with Declude.

The thing to look for is when the virus scanner has any kind of error, it will return a non-zero result... Declude will interpret this as the scanner reporting that it found an error.

That in itself isn't bad... but if the scanner errors a lot, then you get a lot of false positives on viruses... the good news is that you can put the messages back in service by copying them from the virus folder to the queue folder (D & Q files)... this gives you time to solve the problem you're having with the scanner.

 

Hope this helps,

Subject: [IMail Forum] Problem with Declude Anti-Virus

I'm having a small problem with Declude anti-virus.

It seems to be catching a fair amount of virus infected messages, but it is

also catching a lot of non-infected messages as well.

 

Every morning I have a look in my virus holding folder and there are many message files in there.

If I rescan the dir or individual file manually with the same scanner and switches, 95% of the messages

are clean. 

 

Anyone else experiencing this?
