>First off, it has been working perfectly for a long time but recently there
>has been some strange problems.
>
>
>Description of the problem(s):
>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>1) I discovered that the EFW ran out of diskspace. The "/dev/hda4 /var"
>mount/device was full, resulting in NDR's for my mail, saying "Relaying
>Denied".
>
>2) I checked the logs and found messages indicating that the ClamAV was a
>potential candidate for the problem.

>recommended
>= 15
>     freshclam[4308]: DON'T PANIC! Read http://www.clamav.net/faq.html

>3) I tried the suggested link to the ClamAV FAQ (wich by the way is wrong)
>and started reading the FAQ and WIKI. As I am not a Linux guru (and didn't
>think I would have to be when running EFW) I found myself scratching my
>head, thinking that these FAQ/WIKI's is not written for beginners...
>
>4) Searched the "Endian Firewall" and "efw-user" forums here on Nabble and
>found out that it is not just me, but several persons that is wondering how
>to upgrade the ClamAV. I also found some posts from "Thomas Heimann" where
>he posts about new ClamAV versions for EFW. Sadly, there is no information
>for us Linux beginners on how to get started with these upgrades...
>
>5) Back at my out-of-disk problem, I found a KB article (
>http://kb.endian.com/entry/31/ ) that describes my problem, but not all of
>the symptoms. Connecting to my EFW via SSH through Putty, I managed to find
>that the files that was filling up my disk was ClamAV virus definition
>update files: /var/amavis # clamav-*
>
>6) As I couldn't find any information about what to do, I took a chance on
>that the solution in the KB article would work in this case too. So I
>managed to delete all the hundreds of "clamav-*" files filling up the disk
>(was this a misstake?).  After deleting them, I discovered that the
>"/dev/hda4 /var" mount/device was only ~100 MB again.
>Rebooted the EFW and tried sending mails, wich worked fine again.
>Problem Solved, I thought.
>Wrong.

>7) After this, I discovered that the EFW settings was screwed up.

>without any problems.
>     - SMTP Proxy was unchecked, even though SMTP traffic worked. (All of 
>the

>     - Some more, similar settings were also screwed, dont remember them

>(Rebooting again didn't change anything)

>8) I checked and reconfigured all my EFW settings and configuration and

>This time all settings where as they should.

>9) After this, everything was fine for a week, until today when the SMTP

>Tried logging on to the WEB GUI and check, but the WEB GUI didn't respond

>Rebooted the EFW got the SMTP proxy working and I could also log on to the

>10) When checking the logs, i can see that same message that the ClamAV is
>outdated.

>11) Checking the Mailqueue I can see:
>      (host 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1] said: 451 4.5.0 Error in processing,
>id=03544-05-3, virus_scan FAILED: virus_scan:

>12) As of now, the EFW is extremely slow and the disk activity wont stop.
>All mails are getting queued at the EFW.
