Definitely works a lot better than the 16-bit version :)

Why does your sample F-prot command line use the 16 bit scanner instead of
the 32 bit one?

Do you have a recommended command line for FPcmd and do you recommend that
we always use it instead of F-prot.exe.  I have not patched my Imail server
with the current Microsft patches because I am concerned as well. I have
seen some odd behavior on other systems with those updates.

I see /noboot /nofloppy and others are not available under fpcmd.

TIA

Doug

Correct.

It is unlikely to make much of a difference, because [1] SMTP hangs should
not be related to the resources used by the virus scanner, and [2] it is
unlikely that you will have 8-10 virus scanners processes running at the
same time.

The MAXATONCE option was originally designed for people who have licensing
arrangements where they can only have a certain number of copies of the
virus scanner running simultaneously.

>Is you recommendation to set it to unlimited?

Yes.

>smtp service just hangs.

For some reason, some servers have a horrible time handling too many 16-bit
processes, and end up causing serious delays in TCP/IP connections like you
describe.

Are you using a 16-bit virus scanner (such as F-Prot.exe) with Declude
Virus?  If so, I would recommend switching to a 32-bit scanner (such as
F-Prot's fpcmd.exe), which will likely help alleviate the problem.
