Just as well it's 15 lines of code, then ;) it's just a shim to File::Scan::ClamAV, basically. > Also, there are other, likely better, ways of doing virus scanning than > using the plugin -- people using amavis or mailscanner are probably far > outnumbering those who use the plugin, for example. If you use amavis or mailscanner, that would certainly provide a better way to do it. However, if you don't use them, and instead use procmail and spamc/spamd (as I do), this plugin is the most efficient way to call clamav on inbound mail. (as far as I can tell) --j.
