I have a personal mail server at home too. It runs clamav with the base sigs and spamassassin. It is a small atom-based server and takes about 1 minute to reload the base sigs. I've never noticed any problems related to the reload time. In fact, I wasn't even aware that it was taking that l

Thanks for the suggestion, I probably will. In the meantime responses of people made me clear two things : 1. My system is too low budget to have an acceptable time period in which clamav is unresponsive. My mail server is for personal use, it is just a home server with a few mail accounts. But doe

Thanks for the suggestions. 1. Of course I can update less frequently, but the problem stays, it'll only occur less frequent 2. I noticed that setting the update to one hour, in fact starts every time about 5 minutes later, it shifts so to speak 3. Interesting idea, but on my system I think it woul

You've redefined the real problem multiple times. Pick one and stay with it. To properly diagnose *your* system it would be very helpful to see a SAR report for CPU/Swap/Paging/Cache/Memory activity/IOWait before, during, and after a signature refresh. Running sar -A will provide coarse infor

Well, I agree my hardware isn't rather stunning and doesn't help to (dramatically) reduce the time it takes for clamav to reload the database. I will draw my conclusion and start to drop the 3rd party sigs. But no matter how much I can narrow down the problem of the reload time, and now I come back

It seems to be the elephant in the room, but the root cause of your problem is you have a resource-constrained system. You don't have enough RAM or CPU to do what you want. I had the same problem with older Solaris systems running SPARC processors and no amount of cleverness on my part helped.

Apologies for cross posting. This question is about Exim and clamd. Specifically, how can we deal with a clam daemon that’s unresponsive (for five minutes) while updating rules. The obvious thing would be to wait a bit longer rather than time out, but I can’t see a control for that. I have some

Dear clamav-users, I am struggling with this problem now for quite some time and can't get a solution. Reason for asking the user list is that I couldn't get a clue solving the issue even after thorough searching on the internet and the clamav-users lists archive. The situation is as follows. I am
