Nothing changed in 0.90.1. The "nice" thing is, freshclam still kept reporting that updates were fine, after clamd went dead... Luckily, clam was configured as secondary scanner in amavis, so mail delivery wasn't also down. While before 0.90, these problems weren't exhibited, I doubt that they'll just vanish, after most users will update... from time to time they'll show their ugly head again, when a mirror experiences difficulties or the ISP connection is down. Best solution would be to fix freshclam to bail out gracefully in case of problems - better a somewhat older database than no one at all. > > ISC Handler Marteen told me just a few minutes ago: > > "Last night the ClamAV project released a > new main.cvd, which was about 9 megabytes in size.
