Start with your mail log, which messages are causing the problem? are they big, do they have certain type of attachments, etc. (all these attributes can be controlled with MailScanner) If you can isolate one sample, better, that way you'll have something to test directly. Have you tested clamav? for instance running clamscan on the test directory that comes with the source. - -- René Berber -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Cygwin) iD8DBQFGXz9fL3NNweKTRgwRCJreAKD2XQ+KQIcEAd6w8gw77ZNCYCorOgCeOuQe cu4302GILP1h9g2iU7hVkoY= =dWvg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
