Thanks, I think you will really like the latest code that calls clamd once
per batch, especially if you are normally processing a good number of
messages per batch. I would be very interested in any performance
information regarding large volume servers as I would have to manufacture
tests for large volume batches as our servers only handle a couple thousand
incoming mails a day per server (at most). I know I was pleased with the
reduction of memory and resources that we have experienced. Just make sure
your clamd.conf is setup to match your old clamavmodule settings from
mailscanner.
