The way MIMEDefang does it. The client/server protocol between clamdscan and clamd is simple and well-documented; it's implemented in Perl in mimedefang.pl in the subroutine "message_contains_virus_clamd" > And I think Julian has a bias > against socket approaches (ex: spamc/spamd sends the message through a > socket, Actually, it doesn't. It sends the filename to scan through a socket, which is much lower overhead. (This assumes that the client and clamd server are on the same machine, of course!)
