I should add to this a little. I don't have a test system to try getting this to work and this is why I don't want bring the server down while trying to get this to work. If anyone has gone through this switch before I would appreciate any advice I can get.

Thanks,
Dave B.

I?m hoping that someone can shed some light for me here. My current setup is MailScanner/SpamAssassin/Sendmail/spf-milter and ClamAV .90.3 using clamscan. ClamAV has caused the server to come to a screeching halt recently due to clamscan timeouts and therefore I had to disable ClamAV. I want to switch the setup to clamdscan with the clamd running but my experience with this system is extremely limited. The documentation seems to be a little vague and with my understanding being vague as well I?m not getting too far. I believe I understand the clamd.conf setup enough to get through that setup but the connections are what I?m having problems with. For example do I need to replace my spf-milter with clamav-milter for clamd to get my socket created? If someone can point me in the right directions for all the necessary steps in this transition I would be very grateful.

Thanks,
Dave B.
