> > have a huge ramdisk... ?!?! > >How big is big enough ? >10M ? 50M? 100M ? If it is just used for Declude's scanning, it should be large enough to handle ( (n * max) + overhead ) bytes, where "n" is the maximum number of E-mails that could be scanned simultaneously (which should be either 30, or the value of IMail's MaxQueProc entry), and "max" is the maximum size that an E-mail could be, and "overhead" is anything else that needs to be accounted for (bytes used by the OS). In reality, it depends on the largest file size you would typically get, and how often large files are transmitted. There isn't an easy answer to the best size. For most servers, just over 10 megs ought to do (assuming the largest E-mail to be scanned is around 10 megabytes), because you won't usually scan multiple E-mails at the same time, and won't usually have several large files being scanned at the same time. 32 megs or so should be fairly safe for most domains. -Scott --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] This E-mail came from the Declude.Virus mailing list.

Re: [Declude.Virus] TempDir
>What is the advantage, if any, of specifying a Temporary directory for AV >to scan files? They're are scanned in the spool directory by default, >aren't they? Declude needs somewhere to temporarily store the files that need to be scanned. By default, Declude uses temporary directories off of the \IMail\spool directory (IE \IMail\spool\Q1234567.vir\). There have been requests to be able to change the directory that the files are scanned in, for two reasons: First, so that a RAM drive could be used (which would likely offer better performance), and second, so that on-access virus scanners can be more easily set up to exclude the directories that Declude scans in (IE you could have Declude scan in C:\AVTemp, and have a scanner exclude that directory, rather than "the subdirectories off of \IMail\spool"). -Scott --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] This E-mail came from the Declude.Virus mailing list.
