We are having problems with certain mailing list digests that cause clamav to recurse impressively. I see a hint about a similar problem on the developers list but haven't seen anything on this users list yet.
A typical 170kB digest containing about 90 messages took 7 hours to scan and exploded to 3900MB! I think clamav is seeing the message digest "headers" as an indication of bounces andrecursing. This can be demonstrated using the --no-mail option to clamscan. HOWEVER, I am NOT able to turn the ScanMail feature off in the clamd daemon by editting the clamd.conf file - the option remains on. I have reverted to version 0.71 which saves embarrassment for our mail server! Any idea how I can turn ScanMail off in the daemon? Thanks, Steve Platt _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
