If you are testing connectivity, please state what version of ClamAV you are using. If you are not using the most up to date, please try that. Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 24, 2018, at 04:00, Michael Da Cova wrote: > > Hi > >> On 24/10/2018 04:09, Dave Warren wrote: >>> On Tue, Oct 23, 20

We are aware that fresh clam is part of the issue. We are going to introduce some new code to freshclam (and have in the past two releases, IIRC) to prevent stuff like this happening. More updates to freshclam will come in future versions as well. That being said, it's important to realize th

How can it take 10, 20 30 or more minutes (and I've seen well over an hour at times) to upload the ClamAV database to Cloudflare? Does it have to be uploaded separately (and maybe sequentially) from Cisco to each Cloudflare mirror? Or is Cloudflare's automatic propagation slow? On Thu, 18 Oct 201

The DNS announcement is made as the last step in the process. The lag that may be seen is the lag in between when the DNS update is posted, and before the file is pushed out to the Tier 1 CDN servers. It has to be requested at the CDN server before it is cached. On Oct 18, 2018, at 12:07 PM

Hi Paul, I realize it may look misleading to state that you're up to date when a newer database has been announced. However, if the newer database is still being uploaded to the CDN, it is more accurate to say that the DNS announcement is premature. The change to freshclam is an effort to ign

Hi Paul, Thanks for the update. I am interested to know how freshclam in ClamAV 0.100.2 performs for you. I have made some tweaks to make it ignore mirrors for less time, but more importantly I implemented a change to have it report "up to date" in the event that the signature version provide
