Now I'm going to throw in a small customization to Clam AV...

*mv /usr/bin/clamdscan /usr/bin/clamdscan.orig*

*ln -s /usr/bin/clamscan /usr/bin/clamdscan*

This sucks. With this setup, you're loading the virus-db for each and every email. Set up clamd to listen on a TCP socket (dunno if qmail runs in a chroot) and set the clamd user to somebody that is able to read qmail's queue files. This is _way_ faster.

Sorry but I'm not a qmail guy. Else I'd re-write that howto ;-). And up your softlimits, just to be sure (repeating a frequently given answer).

Hey dont shoot the messenger, I'm just going with what that tutorial says and that's the same error I received when I followed that tutorial and forgot the sym link. Yeah it may be horribly inefficient but I tried to answer his question, pointing out what the potential cause of the error may be. Let him go about changing stuff around after he figures out what the error is. Bleh, sorry for the rant, I'll go back to work now :-)

Tim

Sorry, I didn't want to be offending. Just wanted to point out a big performance hole. And just in case he upgrades clamav one day, he'll get into the same problems again, as the symlink will get overwritten. We all know how long "temporary solutions" live, don't we?
