Re: [Clamav-users] Switching from clamscan to clamdscan

Yes I did read what you wrote. I guess what I should have said is that I had tried this before you had sent your email. It all seems to be running now but I think I'm going to attempt the upgrade. I've been going through the documentation and it doesn't seem like it'll be that big of an undertaking. Besides if I backup the current MailScanner I can revert should something blow up.

Huh? No way that would work! You didn't read what I wrote, or you way misunderstood it.

That would work, if done right (remove the options being passed, etc). But it would probably be easier, and certainly better, to upgrade to a version of MailScanner that has native clamd support instead.

Because clamav-wrapper is meant for clamscan, and hence passing parameters to it. You need to stop it from doing this, since clamdscan/clamd uses the clamd.conf file instead for this purpose.
