Hi Marc
We have the older 1.4.3 running.

But here is a new update to the story: I was able to download the three cvd 
files manually and replaced them on our test system. After replacing them and 
executing “freshclam”, the update job executed successfully 😲
Is it possible, that you get blocked when the database files are older than a 
specific date?

I’m not 100% sure if the update works from now on via cron … but there is now a 
little hope.

Cheers
Juergen

[clamav-users] Blocked by Cloudfare - which email address to use for unlock 
request
Hello everyone,
Like many users before me, I am also facing the problem of being blocked by 
Cloudflare during the Freshclam process. ("Sorry, you have been blocked.
You are unable to access clamav.net").
However, I couldn't find an email address to request that our client be 
unblocked. We only have two systems, and the update is only performed twice a 
day. Configuring a local mirror doesn't make sense for just two systems.
Can anyone help me and give me information on who I can contact to get us 
unblocked?

Thanks in advance, best regards
Juergen
