Question regarding clamd.conf parameters..

[Martin Hepworth]

IF you use clamav rather than clamavmodule then setting these params in
clamav.conf should produce the same results. From my hazy memory I seem 
to remember clamd.conf is depreciated in favour of clamav.conf..or it 
could be the other way around - ask the clamav people..
