Re: [IMail Forum] fprot vs. clam

[Bill Foresman]

my dilemma is that Clam seems to catch more viruses but takes a LOT more CPU to run than Fprot.

We quickly returned to Clam in our production environment once the real problem was found. Completely unrelated to Clam by the way :) On your system? Not on my 2 different sites. I think (thought) it had to do with some weird encoding on certain emails - which was addressed in the latest release of ClamAV according to the release notes. Stlll I get the random crashes. In my environment I cannot live with the uncertaintinty - because when ClamAV is not running I do not get the crashes. F-prot [$4 desktop], Mcafee[$11 command line scanner] etal are so inexpensive in the scheme of things that ClamAV is just not worth its free price - in my environment. -Nick Regards, David Gregg dgSoft Internet Services +1.949.584-1514 --- mxGuard for IMail Adds anti-spam *and* anti-virus capabilities to your IMail server. $99 unlimited domains/users.
