Running a CVS snapshot of clamav downloaded yesterday, version info:- ClamAV version devel-20040226, clamav-milter version 0.67h
Started ClamAV & clamav-milter at 12:27 yesterday, and it died due to a SIGABRT at 8:45 this morning. To have it running for 20 hours without a problem is one of the best results I've had for some time. Also, the runaway child process problem seems to have been fixed, as it now actually stops at the configured number of max-children, rather than carrying on regardless. After it was running, I got periodic messages like this:- Feb 26 19:01:11 castor clamav-milter[31235]: write failure to clamd I had 20 of these errors logged while it was running. They didn't seem to cause any significant problems, however, so may not be important. When it actually fell over, I got this:- Feb 27 08:42:16 castor clamav-milter[29675]: i1R8gGYq029673: clean message from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Feb 27 08:45:14 castor clamav-milter[30177]: hit max-children limit (5 >= 5): waiting for some to exit Feb 27 08:45:17 castor clamav-milter[30173]: i1R8jCYq030171: clean message from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Feb 27 08:46:14 castor clamav-milter[30177]: Timeout waiting for a child to die Feb 27 09:46:45 castor sendmail[7282]: i1R9fjYq007282: Milter (ClamAVFilter): error connecting to filter: Connection timed out with /var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.ctl Feb 27 09:47:08 castor sendmail[7298]: i1R9g8Yq007298: Milter (ClamAVFilter): error connecting to filter: Connection timed out with /var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.ctl This last message then repeated with every message that passed through sendmail, until I restarted clamav-milter. I did not have to restart clamd. A core dump was generated by clamav-milter timed at 8:46. Doing a backtrace on the core dump produced the following output:- # gdb /usr/sbin/clamav-milter /core.30177 GNU gdb 2002-04-01-cvs Copyright 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

On the positive side, ClamAV caught 63 infected messages for me in the time it was running this time, and this version is definitely considerably more stable than many of the previous versions I've used.
