Hi [EMAIL PROTECTED], (Not intending to upset anyone...) :)
I was just wondering why qmail-scanner is written in perl? It is a damn cool program that does exactly what I need it to, but it seems that on other lists everyones problem with it is that is forks a whole new perl each time a message comes in.... Now I am ingorant when it comes to these sort of things so this really is just a weekend idle ramble to myself.... but wouldn't a persistant qmail-scannerd process written in C running all the time with the connecting client being qmail-scanner-queue save alot of cpu/ram/disk/whatever overhead? "connecting via a unix socket" or something like that? ;) Maybe even just one whole new qmail-queue binary including the real code that is created when you ./configure ? Has there been discussion of this before by people who know? qmail-scanner-queue.pl is cool and well appriciated, so thanks to Jason as ever for even creating it in the first place !
