My reason for clamd as primary and clamscan as secondary is, that the
daemonized version is faster, so the slower command line scanner
should only be used when the daemon is unavailable.
Actually, I also have antivir installed (in parallel to clamd as
primary). Both are looking for fresh signatures every hour.
I have antivirus checking disabled; instead amavis dumps any email with
executable attachments. After all, this is linux and I have no use for
executables, even if bona fide ;-)
That is what amavisd-new already does before it calls virus scanners or
spam-assassin. Unfortunately, you can't just reject/quarantine every
executable in a corporate environment. At least I can't.
I wonder if amavis can be told to run virus scan only on those email
with suspicious attachments: exes, docs, pdfs, etc. I disabled it
precisely because it scanned every mail, which I think is an overkill:
why should it scan this list mail, for instance? It text only.
It doesn't (see above). Scanninng text only files is very fast, most of the
time is spent to actually load the scanner itself. That's why a daemonized
scanner is preferable.
