Betreff:        [Assp-user] ASSP Directory cleaned out?



Hey everyone, I have a major concern and wondered if anyone else has run 
into this. There have been at least 3 cases now where my ASSP program 
directory gets cleaned out except for a few folders and a few files. The 
main files like the assp.config, spamdb, and all the rest of the files 
from the main directory are gone. I keep redundant backups of all this 
stuff, so putting it back is not really a big issue. My main concern is 
why did this happen in the first place?

Looking at my log file for the time period of when it happened nothing 
suspicious showed up in the maillog.txt file other than normal activity. 
Last message was delivered and then when it came time for ASSP to 
restart is when the service never came back up. This is set via 
MemoryUsageLimit, we have it set to 950MB.

So looking at the debug log folder there is nothing indicating as issue 
here either. I am completely stumped how one minute ASSP is fine and 
then the next 95% of the folder is missing. Another bit of information 
before anyone asks, I did uninstall our AVG antivirus a few days ago 
because it took a bad update. So I can rule out the antivirus as the 
culprit here as it was not installed at the time of the ASSP folder 
cleanout. I have also gone through and made sure that the server was not 
infected with any spyware. Any scans I have done have turned up clean. 
Our firewall is running and we have all but the main ports open for mail 
traffic to get through to our server. And yes our file sharing firewall 
rule is locked down to just communication between the 2 mail servers we 
have for synchronizing ASSP and email betweent eh 2 servers. This is a 1 
way sync as well. So the offline server would only copy the information 
from the currently running server. The first 2 times this happened there 
was suspicion of a user error connected into the server (employee 
checking backups), but this time I was connected to the server adding a 
few domains to our domain white list file.

We are currently using ASSP version 2.4.1(14085) and are planning on 
upgrading soon to a newer build. It just takes time for us because we 
have to coordinate with all of our users. For Perl, we are using version 
5.16.3 from ActiveState. Looking at the modules in ASSP under the Perl 
Modules section, we have either the exact module version installed or 
newer than the required module. I could list them all here if this 
information is needed.

Has anyone else seen this kind of weird behavior? I don't see anything 
in our event logs either in Windows indicating a problem. Thank you in 
advanced for any input.
