Hello all,

According the the developers on the ClamAV list, apparently there are
problems with the current version of zlib (1.2.1) that cause seg faults
(if using he ScanArchive directive).  Since it appears that Exim (at
least with the Exiscan patch, I don't have a non-patched Exim to look at
right this moment) uses the zlib libraries, has anyone here had any
problems with it?

I didn't see any mention of it in the archives here or the main Exim list.

FYI - suse 9.1 (and possibly 9.0) ships with zlib 1.2.1.  Not sure about
other distros.  I am in the process of building a new mail server using
suse and am wondering whether I need to back down the version on zlib.

On a semi-sidenote, is the ScanArchive directive in ClamAV required with
Exiscan, or will demime in Exiscan unpack it for the malware scanner?
Perhaps this should go into the docs?  I recall some discussion here or
on the clam list, but there seemed to be some confusion as I recall.

Thanks!
