I've got the same problem, some mailing lists digests cause clamd to go pathalogical wrt recursion. I'm using postfix 2.1.5 with after queue filtering, amavis-new 2.2.1, clamav 0.83.

A typical 170kB digest containing about 90 messages took 7 hours to

The problem has been already fixed in CVS.

Thanks Tomasz.


I still have the problem that I cannot turn off ScanMail for the daemon clamd.

That is, commented out or not, I still see this :-

Mon Feb 28 12:42:19 2005 -> Mail files support enabled.

I am editing /usr/local/etc/clamd.conf ...


With version 0.71 editting clamav.conf allowed me to turn ScanMail on or off.


Right now, you need to use DisableDefaultScanOPtions, and then
selectively turn on defaults that you want.  I believe 0.9x will have
boolean options to make all of this easier.



I'm minorly confused as to whether the fix is
a) DisableDefaultScanOptions and disabling ScanMail in clam ver 0.83
b) Using cvs clamav with ScanMail
c) Using cvs clamav without ScanMail
