Hi

Thank you for replying however we are using freshclam the approved method. The problem is that our setup is not allowed to go out via a proxy, the only method is to have artifactory mirror the public repo, but as that is now being blocked this is very problematic.

The reason for the setup is because I work for a government organisation so security is extremely tight. They only have limited ways of allowing public access and unfortunately this is the way currently.

Regards

Sounds like a contradiction in terms... :/

The Artifactory home page says it is "too integrated to fail". My
response to that would be "read my previous email to this list", the
part about the Tacoma Narrows Bridge especially.

If you've read the posts to this mailing list for that last week or so
you'll have some idea of wat's happening, I suspect that what you're
seeing is part of the fallout from the response by the ClamAV team to
what has effectively been a DDOS attack on ClamAV's database servers.

You need to use one of the approved ways of updating the data.

I think it's really that simple.
