Using the clamav connector

[chirpy]

AFAIK, there's nothing to configure with the clamavconnector. Once installed, it's used serverwide.

I'm surprised that exiscan+clamav is resource intensive. Are you running the current version of ClamAV - v0.80? If not, you should be as this version is proving much more resource friendly.

MailScanner probably won't be less resource intensive, but it does depend on how you configure it. What it does do is control on a per domain basis for both spam and virus scanning.

I will try this on a new box then and see how it goes!

Yes, actually it's SpamAssassin+Clam+Exiscan that eats resources, though it is nothing that causes the server major problems. When it gets a flurry of spam I see load jump to around 1 then back down again. Some tweaking will get rid of it I'm sure.

Now that I do like. I dumped Mailscanner awhile ago and have used nothing but Exiscan+Clam+SA since. Maybe it's time to test some other options for usability. Thanks!
