You misread. What they said was that if you are checking through crontab, you should have it check no more than once per hour, and only on minutes 3 through 57, excluding 10,20,30,40,50. > But I guess upgrading is probably a smart move, but again if your not > abusing their systems, you will not be blacklisted..

Will work on > upgrading when I get my head above water. You are actually now worse than before. You were checking far *less* than once an hour, so you were fine, and would never have been blacklisted. Now, however, you might actually, since you are more than once an hour. I check 8 times a day (the freshclam.conf option "Checks" should really have been an interval between checks, but it is instead the number of checks per day), or every 3 hours, plus use the "DNSDatabaseInfo" option, since that is on by default in the RPM I use. Since many commercial anti-virus servers allow at most one check per day, even *two* per day with ClamAV will keep you ahead of more viruses than those systems. -- Jeff Rife | SPAM bait: | http://www.nabs.net/Cartoons/ArloNJanis/ClothesHorse.gif [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
