Dear fiends,

What is the worst that can happen if you set the MaxFileSize and MaxScanSize (clamd.conf) to the current maximum?
I have now set it to 2GB / 4GB (Clam 1.0.8) so that not too many files are rejected because they are larger than the standard / suggested maximum.

The warning in the standard clamd.conf sounds really bad and is a bit scary.

BTW: why we have so much file size settings in clamd.conf, this is really confusing.
