Here
is my understanding of the process...
SMTPRS
receives email and puts it in the invirus folder.
MODUSCAN then takes it from invirus and either puts it in to quarrantine
(or spam/virus if quarrantine is busy) or the incoming
folder
SMTPDS
then takes the message and splits it in to the domains and holding
folders. SMTPDS then takes the message from there and either sends it off
remotely or delivers it to the users mailbox.

Actually scratch that. One of my servers
seems ok, the other had several thousand emails queing up in the invirus
folder.
With virus scanning off, should I be seeing anything hit the invirus
folder?

I had both enabled up until about an hour
ago.
Currently, if I have virus scanning turned off,
and anti-spam deleting instead of sending to quarantine, things are pretty
manageable.

Do you alert the sender and recipient when a virus is
detected?

[Modus] Gate Problems
Greetings,
We were running pretty well
the past week or so since the patch that minimized the quarantine
database, however a few hours ago we hit a brick wall.
Both our
(load balanced) gate servers started getting backed up with emails in the
'invirus' folder. In an attempt to at least get messages delivered,
we turned off smtprs on one of servers, and this allowed the server to be
able to deliver it's queued email.
The problem with doing it that
way, is that the other server gets more backed up, so its a never ending
process.
We thought that maybe the sql database was too big, so we
backed it up and shrunk it. No dice
We then dropped the 2
tables, and then re-added fresh tables. We are seeing new data being
written to the database, however the servers are still queuing up tons of
emails.
We thought maybe that new virus is slamming our servers,
so:
We then turned on the sieve filter to filter out the new virus
thats out there, no luck.
We then told anti-virus to delete the message
rather than dump it to quarantine, no luck.
The only way the
servers are able to deliver email normally, is to turn off smtprs, however
as soon as it goes back on, email starts to pile up.
Any
ideas?
