I have been using clamav for a year or two without problem on our mailserver. Yesterday freshclam suddenly stopped working. It is set up to scan at 17 minutes past the hour. Extract from log follows after this text. Investigation and tests this morning shows the additional error message from our firewall. Connection refused to our server 194.201.85.161
09:12 http-proxy[14382]: [194.201.85.161:42872 84.18.202.162:80/daily.cvd] Error while sending/receiving. Can't receive data from server (Connection refused) Have I been banned from the system? No configuration changes made at this end. If so what do I do about it? clam-update.log extract follows...
