Hi, guys,

I would like to ask one question.
I currently updated amavisd-new-2.5.2,1 clamav-0.90.3 in FreeBSD, and it turned out the speed of sending out and receiving the email becomes so slow.

I discovered that amavisd-new is proceeding the virus scanning by using clamscan, which takes 2 process by capacity 60%-90% of CPU, meanwhile it takes 3 minutes to scan one email.

Do you have any idea how to solve this problem? or how to disable clamav, since i think to skip the virus scanning process to make the sending email out much faster.

p.s. I actually enabled clamd daemon, but it seems still use clamscan for scanning.

The below is the information for the snippet setting of amavisd.conf:

@av_scanners = (

### http://www.clamav.net/
 ['ClamAV-clamd',
   \&ask_daemon, ["CONTSCAN {}\n", "/var/run/clamav/clamd"],    qr/\bOK$/, qr/\bFOUND$/,
   qr/^.*?: (?!Infected Archive)(.*) FOUND$/ ],

@av_scanners_backup = (

  ### http://www.clamav.net/ - backs up clamd or Mail::ClamAV   ['ClamAV-clamscan', 'clamscan',
    "--stdout --disable-summary -r --tempdir=$TEMPBASE {}", [0], [1],     qr/^.*?: (?!Infected Archive)(.*) FOUND$/ ],

Do you need help?X

Kevin.
