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.
Same here. :-/ unfortunetly I can't reproduce it on testing environement, and gdb-ing clamd when it scans email stream before it goes to qmail-queue is not so nice idea :-/ (especially when I'm not watching it 24h/7d).
Here, too!

I started getting hit by that when amavisd-new started giving the whole mail to clamd (which always had ScanMail enabled but that made no use before).
A quick workaround is to use clamdwatch [1].Also netsaint/nagios can do these checks, and may send an disturbing amount of SMSes ;-)
Debian anybody ;-)?
My clamav versions and how often they ,,hangs'': (those hosts have ~100 mail users each, and small amount of mails daily [~1000 mails hits smtpd, but almost ~50% are viruses])

I use this version too, and found that trying to find the culprit using amavisd-new's leftover temp dirs or gdb-ing clamd is of just no use. So I started to hack amavisd-new to make a backup of every raw message elsewhere, to get some evidence for bug tracking.

PS. what virus is so dumb that it tries to deliver him self to recipient, but prepends his victim's address whith "3d" ? (eg. except to [EMAIL PROTECTED], he sends him self to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
