Hi, I'm running sendmail+mimedefang+clamav on a bunch of MX servers.
This morning over a period of several hours each of my instances appear to have caused clamd to consume all RAM and swap. Normally swap is empty and 10GB of the 16GB per host is free. This happened immediately following db updates, but hours apart, and all the systems have matching db updates centrally distributed here, so I suspect some e-mail message payload was the commonality. Has anyone else had similar experiences recently? All the clamd Limits settings are as default.
