slightly OT: sophossavi

[Sylvain Phaneuf]

I use MS 4.24-5, with SA 2.60 and Sophos Sweep 3.76 on RH 8. We get
about 30k messages per day and all is going fine except that I find with
MailStats that the average message delay goes up in the 100's of seconds
nearly everyday from about mid-day.

Are these delays normal?

Anyway, I thought that I would give a go at using Sophossavi and
installed SAVI-Perl version 0.15 as instructed in Julian's "MailScanner
Installation Guide - Perl SAVI Module". If I restart MS with "Virus
Scanners = sophossavi" in the conf file, Sophossavi starts well, but the
messages are delayed even more. The number of messages in mqueue.in rise
within a 20-30 minutes well above 500 at which point, I get nervous, I
kill MS and restart with just sophos. The maillog file doesn't show any
error messages. With the regular sophos, the number of messages in
mqueue.in rarely goes above 50. Is what I get with sophossavi normal?

I would be very grateful for any advice.
