I had email domain issues which kept me from posting this the day of the problem unfortunately so this info is just for future reference I guess.
If a problem like this comes up again, I found that you can create a whitelist file to ignore some signatures. I put the following file in the virus database directory (/var/lib/clamav/ for my system)... Created a file called whitelist.ign2 Put the following content in it... Doc.Macro.GenericHeuristic-5931846-1 Doc.Macro.GenericHeuristic-5901772-0 This whitelists those patterns so they do not even get processed to cause the crash in the regexp engine that clamd uses. Clamd started up fine for me with CentOS 5 after doing that. _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
