[clamav-users] freshclam downloadFile: Unexpected response (403) from https://database.clamav.net/daily.cvd
ClamAV: 0.102.4 .. latest stable package in Debian 9 (stretch)

Due to (what I suspect to be) a bunch of repeated, failed attempts to download virus definitions a few months ago, I think our IP has been blocked by the patch server. I've dialed down the refresh frequency and number of failed attempts before aborting ... could we get unblocked? Our IP is 192.241.136.229.

Or if the server logs show something else that we need to change at our end please let me know.

Thank you!

You should be using at least 0.103.4 already and you're cutting it a
bit fine anyway:

Ok thanks, updating to 0.104 seems to have resolved the issue.
