Subject: [Mimedefang] Restart MIMEDefang after AV update?


> Hello list,

specifically File::Scan and McAfee?

Yes, you would have to restart MIMEDefang after an update to File::Scan.
This is because File::Scan is a perl module that is loaded when MIMEDefang
is loaded, it's not an external program or daemon that is called
per-message.  Think of File::Scan as being part of your mimedefang-filter,
change the filter means restart (reload) MIMEDefang.

McAfee, Sophos, Trend, Clam, ... are all external and wouldn't require a
MIMEDefang restart.
