Clamd? Or did you mean clamav-milter? Here, using clamav-milter --external and clamd seems to eliminate the memory increase. So the problem must be something in clamav-milter. For efficiency, I like running clamav-milter with its internal scan using libclamav. Maybe I could fix the memory problem if I had the time. Unfortunately, I don't. _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-devel.html
