clamscan? or clamdscan? or clamd? clamscan doesn't read the (old) /etc/clamav.conf nor the (current) /etc/clamd.conf. >Any way to keep the number of clamscan processes down? Use clamdscan, make sure clamd is running as the correct user to read the files written by your mail processor. Then you will have something that is reading the config file and you can see if your symptoms change. -- Regards...
