I had a similar problem using MIMEdefang rather than clamav-milter. See what default stack size is (ulimit -s). Reducing this in your sendmail init script, e.g. "ulimit -s 2048" can help. Worked for me. See earlier thread on this one: http://www.mail-archive.com/clamav-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg08540.html And then you might be able to inconvenience 10 spammers instead of 1 before they DoS your mail service. But have fun! :) des -- des -- http://frommars.org/ _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
