Isn't that what most MTAs do anyway? Receiving a message over a socket and storing it in a file. When I added (or rather fixed) the filedescriptor passing code in ClamAV, I did it to optimally work with sendmail milters and it did speed up things tremendously (before, you add to pass the whole message content over the socket to the clamav daemon process). If you temporarily store the message content on a ramdisk, it should get quite fast. (speaking about a scenario with running clamd here, btw) _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-devel.html Please submit your patches to our Bugzilla: http://bugs.clamav.net
