[Clamav-users] Behaviour of "StreamMaxLength"

[Andrew Chan]

I am not sure I understand "StreamMaxLength".   I am using clamav-milter (sendmail) and I've set "StreamMaxLength 10M".   My understanding is that It causes a disconnect to clamav-milter when the stream to be scanned gets larger that 10M. The trouble is apparently sendmail keeps retrying to scan this mail instead of just passing it thru. The directory /var/spool/mqueue ends up having a zillion copies of the orphaned dfxxxxxxx files of this mail. And the mail was never delivered.   I do NOT have "F=R" or "F=T" in my sendmail.mc file.   Any insights will be most appreciated.   Andrew
