[clamav-users] Freshclam question

[Paul Kosinski]

Is there an easy way to get freshclam do multiple "attempts" at a lower
rate than it does?

I use an LAN-local server (a tiny Perl program) to redistribute
signatures, and occasionally ClamAV's DNS shows that the official
current version is beyond what the redistribution server has, so it
generates a lot of "network down" etc. messages, polluting the logs.

One possibility would be to have the cron job fire off the freshclams
which use the LAN-local distribution server every few minutes (with
"MaxAttempts 1"), but this would also pollute the logs, as the out-of-
sync condition occurs quite rarely.

Is there any way to adjust the rate (rather than the number) of retries
without modifying the source code?
