The only limit I have is 42006000 bytes memory. Prior to recent problems (and I think fresh clam was disabled in cron since ???) it was 40000000. Do you think that was it? I had max 5 tcp:25 connections, I've bumped that down to 3 (that didn't fix anything even at 2). >What is your MaxThreads setting in clamd.conf? default.

I was never able to cause it, nor could I identify anything particular about the messages other than they where short spam/junk. I would get the clamd warnings in log, and 5 clamdscan process hung with their respective files from ps. The files themselves where typically .5 to 1.5 kbytes header and some garbage message. it would take from 1 minute to 6 hours for the problem mails to stop the system (process about 1000 port 25 connections per day). The mails would be from different IPs and I didn't check envelope info. Haven't had one problem with ClamAV 0.91rc1/3493/Fri Jun 22 05:18:44 2007 which I built shortly after my message. thanks for the program, please let me know if the above info would be useful in bugzilla, I'll detail out the context and post there. // George -- George Georgalis, information systems scientist <IXOYE>< _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-devel.html Please submit your patches to our Bugzilla: http://bugs.clamav.net
