Re: Sub OnHELO(oClient) progress?

Thanks, I understand the complexities of bringing in the protocol to close the connection cleanly. Disconnect.exe could conflict with another user if its the same IP address, but that might be OK in this context, I'll give it a try.

Re: Sub OnHELO(oClient) progress?

Indeed, its the chicken & egg, OnClientConnect doesn't yet know the username and OnClientLogon doesn't have the return Result feature. I would like to block further activity for a specific user from a specific IP but I don't want to block all users from that IP address.

thanks

Re: ClamAV daily.cvd 10274 broken

10275 is broken because 10274 is broken.

As far as I know this is not a ClamAV engine problem, it is a ClamAV database problem.

If you have a daily.cld file (not daily.cvd) you can open it in eg notepad++ and search for pdf-9669 you will see the erroneous entry.

for commercial use, PowerTools (just running on the server) is charged at around US$200

and considering its only really needed to provide clamd, I would suggest runclamd is a much simpler and free solution.

I don't know of the differences (if any), I took ClamAV from w32.clamav.net and using runclamd.exe on all our servers, clamd.exe sits at about 40MB. No leakage even after prolonged uptimes.

Make sure you point hMailServer to clamdscan.exe

Performance over ClamWin is easily in the x100 range.
