[clamav-users] Linode Clam AV Updates

[Bill Speidel]

hi,

     thanks for the response...  i'm new to the clam users list... i did 
see that the freshclam routine was pinging every 5 seconds after getting 
a 429 error so i stopped freshclam...  then i waited several hours and 
tried again...  same 420 response...

     then i tried using cvd update but again got the 429 errors... i 
only let it run for about seven or eight tries... and am waiting for an 
entire day to see if that helps...

     the problem i see is that i don't know if it's my IP in particular, 
all of linode's IP addresses or a subnet...

     i block a lot of sites myself (Digital Ocean anyone?) so i 
understand the desire to stop abusers...  i would be happy to only try 
updating once every day or two if it's just my IP address...

     on the other hand if all of Linode is blocked then there's not much 
i can do...
