So, I've been using ClamAV quite successfully since the days of .66, and I've got a new problem. A user of mine is sending out a large (but not humongous - ~500kb) that is filled with lots of equations and other complicated stuff from Outlook (though there are problems with other mailers too).
What's happening is this: user sends email, and while the connection is still open, sendmail passes the message via milter to Clam, which scans it for viruses. A minute and a half later, Clam has decided that the email is virus-free, sendmail sends a "250 Message accepted for delivery", and the message is sent. However, the problem comes in because Outlook (and Squirrelmail, our web-based email) has timed out the SMTP connection in that minute and a half. This is particularly annoying with Outlook because Outlook will attempt to resend the already-sent email over and over. Does this sound like my sendmail/milter setup is broken? Or is this the way things are supposed to work? I'm planning a transition to Postfix for this summer (since I'm not a Sendmail expert by any means), but if there's a change I can make now, that'd be even better.
