Hello all: Question: Why not run clamdscan instead of clamd under mimedefang?
Observations: 1) clamdscan appears to always be at least 2 orders of magnitude faster than clamscan. 2) mimedefang running clamdscan does not appear to be significantly faster than mimedefang using clamd via clamd's socket (within the limits of the experiments I could run). 3) the setup to run clamdscan under mimedefang is trivial (change references to clamscan to be clamdscan) compared to the setup to run clamd (running under a different user, getting freshclam to notify it of database updates, etc.) Which brings up another question: Why even offer clamscan as a mimedefang option -- why not just always use clamdscan? Your thoughts please... Jon R. Kibler Chief Technical Officer A.S.E.T., Inc.
