I still receive the same errors. I’ve tried with up to 100MB and got the same response. Any other ideas?   itamar From: Kundra, Sachin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2005 3:34 PM To: 'Itamar Levin'; qmail-scanner-general@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Qmail-scanner-general]re: installation   You need to increase the amount of memory allocated to Qmail.   See the site:   " You must increase the amount of memory your system allows qmail-smtpd to run with, as it it now running the entire perl interpreter PLUS virus scanners. Typical installs of Qmail have system rc/startup scripts (e.g. /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail or /service/smtp/run) that limit the amount of RAM qmail-smtpd can use via ulimit or softlimit. You must increase that to around 5-11Mb (totally dependent on your OS and choice of anti-virus scanner). If you don't qmail-smtpd will crash with a "qq" error on the receipt of the very first message... The actual amount is dependent on the OS in question as well as the virus scanners being used, so be prepared to experiment a little. Whatever you do, don't just set it to something stupid like 100M "just to be sure". The whole point about limiting RAM usage is so that "unusual" mail messages (e.g. from spammers or hackers) can't cause your system to become unusable by making it run out of RAM.   "     -----Original Message----- From: Itamar Levin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2005 12:29 PM To: qmail-scanner-general@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Qmail-scanner-general]re: installation Hi, I guess you can call me a noobie to this beautiful grand thing called qmail and all of its amazing plugins. Anyway so far I have been following the guide for RH Linux on qmailrocks.org. so far so good but when it comes into the qmail scanner I am having trouble. I test the installation by running the command   ./test_installation.sh -doit QMAILQUEUE was not set, defaulting to /var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl for this test...   Sending standard test message - no viruses... done!   Sending eicar test virus - should be caught by perlscanner module... qmail-inject: fatal: qq temporary problem (#4.3.0) Bad error. qmail-inject died   What does this mean?   Thanks in advance.   itamar
