[clamav-users] Rate-limiting question
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

You shouldn’t be rate limited if Freshclam is operating correctly. Can you give me an IP to look up?

Hi Joel,

I apologize for the delay, I had to get approval before providing the outward facing IP’s:

If any of those IP’s are part of the problem, please let me know and I’ll make sure it gets rectified. We’ve been disseminating the issue to our admins across the company to make sure this is avoided.

Regards,

James R. Tigert
