If not, how does clamSMTP react to large (>5MB) attachments? Does it just not scan them, or does it risk a time-out?
I currently use a combination of blacklisting and greylisting (and of course some white listing) in a pre-data filter, so actually very few viruses do make it to the scanner. Though some aggressive viruses have managed to pound their way through the greylist before they end up on a blacklist. clamSMTP would require me to do all my antispam with something like ASSP, as you've suggested, and possibly complicate things like shutting off antispam and/or antivirus at a per user level (something we do quite often) - but it is something to think about. Still, the perfectionist in me still wants to get my script working well (and fast - many of our users tend to send large attachments via email). Moving AV back to a mailproc.tab filter and scanning off-line may be what I have to do. --John - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
