One qmailtoaster server I am responsible of is doing a RAID rebuild
and disk IO is quite slow. Therefore I thought about disabling ClamAV
and SpamAssassin scanning for time being. Reading
http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/Simscan I ended up modifying
simcontrol to look like this:
:clam=no,spam=no,spam_hits=12
and issuing /var/qmail/bin/simscanmk -g
What keeps me puzzled is that I see the process now and then in top
(eating 90 % CPU at times). No idea what it is doing.
Questions: Can I now just stop clamav with svscan? If it is not
enabled in simcontrol, my toaster shouldn't use it for anything,
right?
Best,
Peter
you can
touch /var/qmail/supervise/clamd/down
service qmail stop
sleep 10
service qmail stat<= make sure all qmail service stop
service qmail start
or if you already installed qtp you can
qmail-spam stop
qmail-clam stop
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, there was a buggy version of clamav which would eat the cpu. I expect
that if you upgrade clamav, you'll be fine.
The clamav-toaster package should really be kept up to date as much as
possible. FWIW, a while ago clamav packages past a certain age (and not all
that old) quit working entirely. I didn't think that was a good move by the
clamav folks, but this shows that it not only can but has happened.
Well, I don't need clamav there anyway as there is a another scanner
in between.
I just wanted to confirm that it is okay to shut down clamav and it
won't affect the other toaster parts.
Thanks for your info,
Peter

You should be fine, I think. We should probably have a wiki page about
clamav. How to disable it, freshclam, using sane-security, and whatever
else.
FWIW, I think it's a good idea to have more rather than fewer virus
scanners. They're not all the same, and inevitably one will catch things
that another won't. To be honest though, there seems to be fewer viruses
going around these days (just a gut feel - I've no empirical evidence).
Perhaps because there are so many scanners? ;)
