Sure, but that's only a workaround. We have mailservers that get clamd restartet (via clamdwatch.pl) nearly 10-15 times a day. Every time clamd hangs that has consequences to the mail-flow, and that's a real problem. Running clamd without softlimit ends in clamd (after some time, some hours, some days or a week, I never found out why) eating up all memory until the servers hook off. So softlimit is a workaround, but not the solution. These memory leaks may be the only real reason not to deal with clamav, in all other relations this project is nice and fine. It would be very positive to get the code 'de-leaked'. I'm not the C-programmer to work on it, but if it helps our company could make some donations to get clamd more (memory-) stable. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ Clamav-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/clamav-users
