Hi thanks a lot for the reply. I thought it was somekind of zip bomb but I'm not sure how to determine that is the root cause of the problem and if so how to handle it. I'm running clamav-65 it might be a bug in the clamav itself!. I found these messages in my maillog
Dec 22 11:25:18 qmail-scanner X-Qmail-Scanner-1.20: [qmail-scanner7207011846138018] Requeuing: Maximum time exceeded. Something cannot handle this message. at /var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl line 376. As said in qmail-scanner FAQ page this might be a bug in av-scanner that is being used !! But i'm not sure. with regards, Bikrant On Sunday 21 December 2003 22:22, you wrote: > Hello > > Sounds like a zip bomb or something try setting > > # Maximal depth the directories are scanned at. > MaxDirectoryRecursion 5 > > One thing I noticed when running qmail, was that it didn't work well > with a system configured with softupdates.
