Started picking up here Sunday, was back to 'full strength' by Monday. James Rallo made some mods to one of the Clam add ons that has dramatically improved matters here (talking 50% or more drop in SA calls since clam is called before SA). http://www.jamesdrsoft.com/download/clamupdate.zip is for those that have more than one clam box running. http://www.jamesdrsoft.com/download/servclamsigupdate.zip is a web server based distro point for the files. I can't speak for his docs or instructions (he set it up here for me) but the net results are impressive. The original scripts were done by Gerard Seibert. Worth a look IMO; I wouldn't be parted with them now. Nigel
