Yes, for me this is a big bug. It even ruins my mailserver. For legal
reasons I ve set up my mailservers to scan emails in realtime for years.
No store & forward! It refuses bad emails during a connection. Two weeks
ago I installed mailservers with new debian 10. On these new servers
Clamav reloads the database every two hours. It takes up to two minutes,
clamav blockes everything and my boss has the talent to send an email
whenever the databases are loaded. He got already upset about his email
client getting a timeout. On my older servers with debian 9 Clamav
loaded the databases with fewer signatures once a day only! Ok, it s
cool to have better security now. But I would like to disable the
loadings during normal business time.
Please, where can I change the interval value or times for loading the
databases?
