I've got a server running a Discus forum in addition to Exim4, Clamav and spamassassin. One of the functions of the forum is to send the latest posting to all on the mail list. The result is a flood of mail that Exim sends on to Clam and Spamassassin.
Prior to adding Clam and SpamAssassin to the system, the discus mail flowed without a hitch. Now, however, I seem to be hitting a bottle neck with one or the other of the new additions (Exim winds up running 20 or more times and turning away mail - 'too many connections'). I'm wondering it has to do with the number of consecutive connections allowed by the clamav conf file. If this is the case, I don't think the solution is to increase the number to something exceeding the number of mail list members... ;-)
The logs are sort of chicken-egg. It's not apparent where the problem starts, so I don't know what sort of 'relevant' configuration data to post. Hence, I'm really just asking if mass mailings like this *could* be an issue for Clamav, or if I should look elsewhere.
Set Exim4 to use ClamAV only on incoming mail perhaps?
