-----Original Message----- From: Jeff Rife [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] You misread.
What they said was that if you are checking through crontab, you should have it check no more than once per hour, and only on minutes 3 through 57, excluding 10,20,30,40,50. You are actually now worse than before. You were checking far *less* than once an hour, so you were fine, and would never have been blacklisted. Now, however, you might actually, since you are more than once an hour. I check 8 times a day (the freshclam.conf option "Checks" should really have been an interval between checks, but it is instead the number of checks per day), or every 3 hours, plus use the "DNSDatabaseInfo" option, since that is on by default in the RPM I use. I think we are all just a bit lost or none of us has mastered reading comprehension. This is a slam on all of us, me included, since I'm now foggy, maybe I'm a flip flopper :) >From the site: "Unless you are using DNSDatabaseInfo, please keep the check frequency below once per hour. " This here states that my initial read was in fact correct. If your not using DNSDatabaseInfo (if you are in fact pre 8.0), then please check for updates less then once per hour. Which means that those (me included) that were checking 4-8 times a day, are actually bad mimedefang citizens. 1) if you run freshclam from crontab, check that you have an entry like the following: N * * * * /usr/local/bin/freshclam --quiet It also clearly cites that "Unless you are using DNSDatabaseInfo, please keep the check frequency below once per hour." Which is in line with this thread. If your running 8.0 and have DNSDatabaseInfo turned on, check it whenever you want and this thread really has no impact on you, it only concerns those that are not running the latest, and or have not enabled DNSDatabaseInfo (since it is NOT on by default). That clearly shows a crontab that is running N times an hour or every N minutes, and does not cite N times per day. -Tory _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
