In case anyone is still following my story... I've narrowed things down a bit. The clamd daemon seems to be running properly, as evidenced by a proper run of clamdscan. Takes almost no time at all to scan one file, and 12 minutes in total to scan approx 30Gb of directories/files. Therefore, I must conclude that there is some communication problem between clamav-milter and clamd (or clamav-milter and sendmail) that is interfering with the ability of the milter to do its job. As I mentioned above, there are two symptoms - a significant slowdown in mail exchange, and the failure for any virii to be flagged or a header line to be written in acceptable messages. Does anyone have any suggestions for what might account for this? -Don ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: The Robotic Monkeys at ThinkGeek For a limited time only, get FREE Ground shipping on all orders of $35 or more.
