Well for one thing, you could try asking on the scan4virus mailing-list
instead ;-) [[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
Hey Mark - you're not on it!! Naughty :-)
(Try: [EMAIL PROTECTED])
Anyway - core dumped - nasty. You'll need to do some work there. For some
reason something scan4virus is calling is dumping core - probably the
MacAfee's virus scanner. Are you sure you don't have corrupt DAT files/etc?
Under the "autoupdaters" subdir of my package is some scripts for
auto-downloading DAT files for the appropriate virus scanner. Are you using
something like that which attempts to check that what you have just
downloaded is kosher and not corrupt (which is know to happen with these
darn things...). Could it be a resource issue? Do you set reasonable ulimits
in your RC scripts for starting qmail-smtpd so that Qmail can actually call
scan4virus - don't forget a virus scanner has much larger resource
requirements than a pure Qmail-1.03 system...
The other option is there's a bug in MacAfee's virus scanner for Solaris...
[anything but a bug in my code of course ;-]
Anyway, this is CC'ed to the appropriate group, I'd suggest replies go
there...
