FreeBSD 4.10 ~200 users ClamAV version devel-20040806 clamav-milter version 0.74a Sendmail 8.12.11
clamav-milter --noreject --postmaster-only --local --max-children=10 /var/run/clamav/clmilter.sock
I've already checked the FAQ, searched the archive, and Googled.
Normal system load is low, less than 1.0. Normally, one clamav-milter process is seen in a ps. Clamav-milter doesn't even make the list in "top", with mailman and imapd processes bumping it off the screen. However...
In the last two days, I've twice had my system load jump to > 10.0 (to the point where sendmail was rejecting incoming connections) due to the max number of clamav-milter children spawning and consuming memory and CPU.
If I kill -9 the clamav-milter processes (doesn't respond to a graceful restart request), then restart clamav-milter, it's good to go, and doesn't immediately try to spawn the max number of children.
Until the next day.
Any thoughts or pointers, as I hunt for causes to this?
