In 2.1 and 2.1.2, I've experienced the internet slowing to a crawl, and connectivity issues for both local and openvpn users, when the proxy virus scanners are enabled. They work fine for a while, but things seem to degrade quickly after a period of use. A reboot can get things back to normal.
This includes the http, pop3, and ftp scanners. At the moment, I have the dns antispam disabled too, but I can't remember if that was actually tested as a cause, or just turned off when I was turning everything else off. (to keep the users from complaining any more) I can't imagine it being a memory leak, as programs like clamav are widely used, and run rock solid in other distributions. I use SME server from contribs.org to act as either a spam/virus scanner for a couple of customers with Exchange, or as a standalone web & smtp mail server for myself and others. It runs spamassassin and clamav day in and day out with no problems. Maybe a disk cache filling up? I only wish I could enable it all again and look for clues, but I would have to play with live servers since I couldn't generate that much traffic in a test environment. I'm not complaining - efw does great at content filtering, firewalling, and has an excellent openvpn implementation, and it runs fine otherwise. I may be wrong, but I don't think too many ppl are working on the project full time, and I'm sure that those that are working on it are overworked and underpaid. Kudos to them. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of cinthya aranguren Sent: Thursday, April 17, 2008 2:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Efw-user] Active queue grow when Anyways... when I save the smtp proxy configuration and the service is restarted, efw fail to start the amavisd daemon and I have to start it manually.
