[AMaViS-user] amavisd-new and mcafee's uvscan for unix questions

[jonathan <jen...@ry...>]

My amavisd.conf is using a standard configuration for uvscan:

   ### http://www.nai.com/
   ['NAI McAfee AntiVirus (uvscan)', 'uvscan',
     '--secure -rv --mime --summary --noboot - {}', [0], [13],
     qr/(?x) Found (?:
         \ the\ (.+)\ (?:virus|trojan)  |
         \ (?:virus|trojan)\ or\ variant\ ([^ ]+)  |
         :\ (.+)\ NOT\ a\ virus)/,
   # sub {$ENV{LD_PRELOAD}='/lib/libc.so.6'},
   # sub {delete $ENV{LD_PRELOAD}},
   ],

I'm running many instances of amavisd, yet I never seem to see much more 
than  a dozen uvscan processes, no mater how many amavisd processes are 
running.  Furthermore, it seems like every uvscan process is scanning 
the entire contents of /var/amavisd/tmp?:

  amavisd  6265  6112   1 15:57:36 ?           0:07 
/usr/local/bin/uvscan --secure -rv --mime --summary --noboot - 
/var/amavis/tmp/

Shouldn't each uvscan process be shown as acting on a single 
subdirectory (message) in amavisd/tmp?  I'm seeing really high times for 
virus scanning.

Any insight here greatly appreciated.
