Hello all I've got a postfix + amavisd-new + clamav + spamassasin setup here. In my efforts to fight the password encrypted virus problem of last week, I upgraded clamav from a 20030829 snapshot to version 0.67 to make sure I was using the current stable version and be in sync with what people were discussing on this list. I also upgraded amavisd-new from 20030616-p3 to 20030616-p7. amavisd talks to clamd via a unix socket.
Prior to upgrading, clamd worked flawlessly (Many thanks!). Now, about once every three days, one of the clamd threads becomes a zombie, and and clamd stops responding on its socket. It does, however, notice that its virus database has been update and re-reads it, so it's not totally dead. Thereafter, amavisd gets stuck waiting as soon as it tries to talk to clamd: Almost immediately, all the amavisd processes are stuck waiting for clamd to respond, and mail starts piling up in the queue, not being delivered. Does this sound familiar to anyone? What can I do to debug this more? Examining the mail log shows simply that suddenly amavis and clamd stop writing lines to it.
