I am having trouble with ClamAV dying in certain circumstances, but somewhat rare. I would like for when it dies, to either restart it or copy a mail config file for exim over the default and signal Exim which would then disable exim from using clamav so the mail will still come through. Currently we have it disabled until the problem is fixed, but some users are still not heeding the warnings and are infecting themselves with the MyDoom virus which ClamAV was previously blocking. --=20 I sense much NT in you. NT leads to Bluescreen. Bluescreen leads to downtime. Downtime leads to suffering. NT is the path to the darkside. Powerful Unix is.
