Re: Antivirus Programs for Openbsd

[Chris Cameron <chris_(_at_)_upnix_(_dot_)_com>]

Just to add, I use Vexira to scan both file systems and mail (Milter) on 
a Linux server.

The Milter virus scanner works great, the one that does the file systems 
is a dog. It slows down file transfers considerably and will eventually 
get itself gummed up to the point where you need to restart it to 
prevent large file accesses from freezing the application.

When our subscription renewal comes up again, there'll definitely be a 
push for ClamAV.
