Greetings,
We are experiencing the results of the current rate-limits due to some parties’ activities (error 429) – reference:
https://www.mail-archive.com/clamav-users@lists.clamav.net/msg49810.html.
Per guidance, we have always used freshclam as part of our automated refresh (cronjob) on a 24-hour basis (1x per day). We’ve extended the cronjob to only run once every 48 hours to help mitigate any issues on your end.
Is there a preferred frequency of updating via freshclam we should follow to avoid over-burdening your servers and network? Is 24 hours too often?
We appreciate your assistance and the service provided.
Regards,
James R. Tigert
