I am having a strange problem with clamd. It has become the biggest bottleneck on my SMTP service but I just can't figure out why. Perhaps this is not a clamd problem but a hardware problem! I have tested both clamav-0.80 and clamav-devel-20050120 today.
On my diagnostics, the mail processing seems to delay forever when the mail is being scanned. I use Exim+exiscan+clamd. So an SMTP connection from a client machine (read Outlook) ends up timing out! This has put me on the spot, but I have no alternative to clamd as we speak, and neither do I intend to. For the last 4 or so days, this problem as persisted. And clamd leaves so many files in the TempDir - running to hundreds of Megabytes. In clamd.conf, I have never enabled that option of leaving tempfiles. In clamd.conf, I am using the default scan options. `top` reveals that clamd is hogging resources: PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE C TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND 12203 exim -6 0 22308K 15944K biord 2 16:35 45.41% 45.41% clamd This is a busy server, but are these figures 'near' normal for anyone running either 0.80 or CVS out there? -Wash http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html -- +======================================================================+ |\ _,,,---,,_ | Odhiambo Washington <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Zzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ | Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-'| Tel: +254 20 313985-9 +254 20 313922 '---''(_/--' `-'\_) | GSM: +254 722 743223 +254 733 744121 +======================================================================+ In Tulsa, Oklahoma, it is against the law to open a soda bottle without the supervision of a licensed engineer. _______________________________________________ http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users
