Hi.
I am experimenting with exim+exiscan+sweep after the recent DOS against clamd made me
skeptical about clamd+clamav.
After starting up exim,I notice a sharp increase in the server load.
The sweep process appears to be the culprit.Otherthan reverting back to clamav/clamd,
has anyone on the list found some other parameters that can be used to
optimise the performance of exim+sophos-sweep?
Thanks.
