This beta includes direct communication with clamd, and no longer uses 
clamd-wrapper or clamdscan. This should be faster than the clamd support 
in the previous version.
Thanks for Rick Cooper for this contribution.

Download as usual from www.mailscanner.info.

The Change Log is:

* New Features and Improvements *
1 Direct support for the "clamd" virus scanner -- now talks directly to the
  clamd daemon without any overhead of calling clamd-wrapper or clamdscan.
  As a result, this should be faster than the previous clamd support.
  It also has a much smaller memory footprint than the "clamavmodule" 
scanner.
  This is all thanks to Rick Cooper who wrote the original code.
  New configuration options are
  - Clamd Port = 3310
  - Clamd Socket = /tmp/clamd
  - Clamd Lock File = /var/lock/subsys/clamd
  - Clamd Use Threads = no
  The use of these settings is explained in the MailScanner.conf file.
