[clamav-users] Request for guidelines to connect freshclam to Squid proxy

[Dave Warren]

A firewall's job is to regulate unwanted/undesired traffic and to 
enforce policy as defined by the business, not to invent it.

If the business policy is to allow virus definition updates then the 
firewall should be configured to do so. If not, it should be blocked 
completely. Anything else is just a power-trip on the part of the 
firewall administrator and the responsibility should fall to them when 
their mis-configuration has consequences.
