David,
if you haven't tried this already, stop and restart MODUSCAN.
We have found that after a while the service become less and less efficient at processing the contents of the invirus folder.
Restarting the service speeds everything up again.
As usual, YMMV, but it does work for us.
Thanks,
Lapo Nustrini

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?
