Are you scanning all email?
Not outgoing mail (from our users), but all incoming mail, yes. The
message size limit in qmail was set to 15MB, with the clamd.conf
limits set at 10MB.
I don't think there's a size limit for MAIL in clamd.conf. There's a
size limit on archive (compressed files), but AFAIK it doesn't prevent
mail larger than that from getting scanned.
I noticed that when clamd was pegged, the clamav directories were
almost all using 10MB of disk space.
Scanning large emails (e.g over 10MB) needs quite a lot of resource,
and if your system receives lots of them, the load can increase
greatly. If you have slow CPU, or handle lots of email traffic, it
might be useful to tell simscan to only scan emails < 1 MB.
I did 2 things:
1) Lowered the incoming file size limit to 1MB for now
That will effectively put the limit :)
