yeah, since i'm using clamd, there really is no penalty for checking the parts on their own (and only if they pass the other checks). if i was using a non-daemon scanner, i see the benefit of cranking it off in filter_begin() to prevent the overhead of reading the virus definitions, etc for each part in filter(). for clamd, the filter_begin() check just seems to be overhead. thanks for all the feedback...it helped get my head straight. ;-) Bryan _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
