I use ClamAV in association with qmailscanner and SpamAssassin to
filter email. Several times in the past three days this mail server
has become unresponsive. The only things that I can think of that has
changed in that time are the virus definitions used by Clam. ps -A |
grep clamscan| wc -l reports many more processes than ps -A | grep
qmail-smtpd | wc-l, leading me to believe that clamscan is sometimes
not returning and the processes are, in effect, becoming defunct. Is
there any sense to this hypothesis? Any other ideas of what is going
on? Program versions are listed below.
What is a value of softlimit?
More to the point - why are you using clamscan instead of clamdscan?
There is no good reason I'm aware of to EVER use clamscan over clamdscan
on a mail server.
