At any rate, I'm running without a softlimit right now so we will see what happens. Other avenues to persue would be helpful.
Well, I've been running clamd for the last few days without softlimits and have had no problems with it choking. I've reviewed the logs and see several messages where the max file size was hit, but it didn't die so that's a good sign. So now I have a few more questions: 1) For those of you who are using softlimits or ulimits, what are you're limits set to? It still makes me nervous, so I'd like to add the limits back at some point. 2) I've been monitoring the clamd process with top and it never seems to take more than about 30Mb of total memory (physical + virtual), so I'm curious why it would be choking with a softlimit of 50Mb. Thoughts? 3) Are other mail admins out there seeing these huge file attachments coming in? Most of them seem to be spam, so I'm guessing a few folks are. I'm sure I could find this in the docs, but being a little lazy right now, what does clamd do when it reaches the max file size? What do other clamd users have your max file size set to? Thanks. _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
