kevin, i ran into the same problem with clamd, but was able to dig a bit deeper and figuring out, that as soon as an attachement was encoded in octet-stream clamd would run nuts. the logs showed it crashed, but the process was still alive – just freaking out and using slowly all available cpu-cycles until nothing was left. the kernel process was getting a bit stressed and used around 30% (DC 1.66 here) and clamd the rest.
please just look into your logs and report back, if these attachements were sent encoded in octet-stream. until then, greets, oliver Am 30.07.2007 um 17:04 schrieb Kevin Windham: > I was reading the archives and it seems that powerpoint files can > cause problems with clamd.
