Can you tie your problems up with particular mails from your logs ? I've found Clam is very greedy on big MIME mails, as it stores the entire mail in RAM whilst extracting the attachments. Like you I also found that message doesn't trigger the OOM killer, and I suspect you're going to say (as I also found) that if you don't put a softlimit on Clamd, then it can bring the machine down through eating all of RAM - please do tell me if I'm wrong here of course :) Nick -- Critical Software Support Team Technical Support Line: (International) +44 870 770 8198 (UK) 0870 770 8198 -- Scanned by iCritical. _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
