Thank you very much Bob, it's most appreciated. You should have received your uname/password for the supporter's area. If not please contact me asap.

Best regards,

Nico

FYI, I've just released version 1.3.0 of my ClamSup script. For the list of changes please see http://hideout.ath.cx/clamav

Bob, should you read this: I've tried to send you a mail by using two different accounts and both times it bounced with "550 5.7.1 Rejecting due to security policy". Then I wrote you a PM here which you didn't read (I presume you didn't got the notification mail because of your server's security policy

) so I'm about to give up now.

Best regards,

Nico

Hi Nico,

BTW, in latest clamsup.ini pls look at one of the sanesecurity lines
i think it should read rsync://rsync.sanesecurity.net/sanesecurity;etc...
but it's rsync://rsync.sanesecurity.net/etc.. in original download.
i don't remember now which line it was. FYI.

Thanks once again for the good work.

tBB · **Posted:** 2010-09-09 21:25

You're right, thanks for the notice! I've changed it in the ClamSup.ini.

Best regards,

Nico

Very Strange Nico Because I am getting the announcements of Version 30. I got the original one and than the correction,

I will remove the filter

Thank you

That's your country blocking policy of which I'm admittedly not a friend at all because you can't reliably tell by it's domain in which country a server is located. My server appears to be at the Christmas islands (cx) but it's a dyndns domain and located in Germany. This forum is btw. also located at a server in Germany which explains why you don't get notification mails. My mailing list server is located in the USA, hence you receive the mails.

Apparently you've removed the filter for .cx but not for .de so my mail bounced again. I've send another one to the Yahoo address you've mailed me (last attempt!).

Best regards,

Nico

Hi guys,

in case you didn't notice, ClamAV 0.96.3 is available at http://hideout.ath.cx/clamav. This is a recommended update because of a fixed security vulnerability in the Bzip2 library.

Best regards,

Nico

I am presuming that we lost the automatic update service?

What do you mean? ClamAV doesn't have (and never had) such service for the application. In case you're referring to FreshClam, it only updates the databases.

Best regards,

Nico

bescher · **Posted:** 2010-09-24 10:40

Yes
I installed the new version and the freshclam database updater is no longer in my services panel so I presume it was removed

No, it wasn't removed. How did you install the new version? Did you extract the 7z archive over the previous version or have you used the installer and if yes, did you uninstall the previous version before installing the new?

Best regards,

Nico

bescher · **Posted:** 2010-09-24 13:09

I did uninstall the old version and yes I used the installer
(the generic version)

bescher · **Posted:** 2010-09-24 13:16

I unibstalled it again and reinstalled. This time it added it just fine

Thank you

Bob

Meanwhile I've written some installation/upgrade instructions for ClamAV: http://hideout.ath.cx/clamav/install.txt

Hope it helps.

Hi, does anybody know if this project is still active?

^DooM^ · **Posted:** 2011-10-03 12:25

Not seen him around. Try his mail address tbb(at)hideout.ath.cx

Thought I'd just throw in a quick update here, we've been on a new VPS with 768MB RAM for several months now & can easily run everything we need (including Nico's ClamAV). Memory usage on the VPS sits between 60 - 70% and never strays beyond that.

Just wondering (as has already been asked) if Nico is still around & if he's working on any updates since the latest 'standard' version is now at 0.97.3.

katip · **Posted:** 2011-11-07 17:45

Hello,

Nico was very diligent and helpful all the time. i hope he's doing fine. indeed i'm worried too..

BTW pls check this HOWTO

armo · **Joined:** 2011-11-04 21:39 **Posts:** 28

Me too i hope he's doing well, but just lately decided to drop his version. The Win32 version is running as fine as Nico's version. I wrote a HOWTO for those interested.
