RE: [Declude.Virus] MAXATONCE Switch
Yes, I was using the command line version with trend for a while, and never even noticed it was the 16bit version running. I switched to f-prot's 32-bit command line after that and it seemed to make a HUGE difference in speed. Of course, after that it was another leap when I noticed the spool directory was being scanned real-time...

Re: [Declude.Virus] MAXATONCE Switch
Scott, thank you very much. Problem solved. The f-prot.exe file was causing the problem as a 16-bit application. After new critical fixes and patches from Microsoft, that process made the server very slow. We have been using f-prot.exe prior that without problems. I replaced with fpcdm.exe (32 bit) making sure to take out the /nofloppy switch from the scan line in the virus.cfg file. Now server is back to normal. :-) Scott thank you very much for your fast answer to my questions and great support. -Luis Arango -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Panda Consulting S.A.

Re: [Declude.Virus] MAXATONCE Switch
Your recommendation is MAXATONCE O allows unlimited processes to run at the same time. Correct. Setting the switch to 8 or 10 will make SMTP hangs or become slower? It is unlikely to make much of a difference, because [1] SMTP hangs should not be related to the resources used by the virus scanner, and [2] it is unlikely that you will have 8-10 virus scanners processes running at the same time. The MAXATONCE option was originally designed for people who have licensing arrangements where they can only have a certain number of copies of the virus scanner running simultaneously. Is you recommendation to set it to unlimited? Yes. SMTP is now very slow after applying MSFT patches (apr 14). Sometimes smtp service just hangs. For some reason, some servers have a horrible time handling too many 16-bit processes, and end up causing serious delays in TCP/IP connections like you describe. Are you using a 16-bit virus scanner (such as F-Prot.exe) with Declude Virus? If so, I would recommend switching to a 32-bit scanner (such as F-Prot's fpcmd.exe), which will likely help alleviate the problem. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers since 2000.
