Well, if you'll be scanning any significant amount of email, you'll definitely want to get clamd up & running. Although MIMEdefang is able to find and use the stand-alone command-line scanner (clamscan), that would be much less desirable than having clamd up, allowing MD to talk directly to the clamd socket. This would save a lot of overhead for each scan. Nels wrote in another reply that your version of MD does not have the -G option, so the advice I gave Friday might not work. You might have to make clamd run as the defang user. To do this, you'd have to edit your clamd.conf and your freshclam.conf, as well as checking the permissions of your clamav database directory. But, before doing that, it might be a good idea to first get clamd running so that clamdscan works. After that, then you can work on getting the permissions right for MIMEDefang to use clamd. _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
