If clamdscan cannot connect to clamd, clamdscan plugin returns DECLINED and the virus is delivered to the user.

A safer option would be to return DENYSOFT when clamd is not reachable.


I agree with the patch. I'm sure some idiots will turn on the clamd plugin without running clamd and wonder why they get no mail, but oh well.

You all will never agree on the right behaviour because there is no good default for all situations - just create a patch that makes this configurable.

BTW I don't think the default should be changed - if for no other reason then because people have grown used to the current defaults and a silent change might be a bad surprise for some setups that don't find A/V scanning very important.
