Re: [AMaViS-user] Virus Warning Delivery Rules
Sorry but no one has any idea where I can start looking to fix this? If 2 (userA, and userB) that are in the TO, CC or BCC (or any combination of those) and one (userA) has virus scanning and the other (userB) does not they both get a virus warning but the second one (userB) also gets the virus. I need to supress the virus warning mail for the second user(userB). Can some one please show me what to look for? E./ Erin D.

I have 2 users; [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---Virus checking turned off [EMAIL PROTECTED] --Virus checking turned on If I send each a virus the desired actions are completed, either pass or fail. The problem is when some one sends a virus to multiply recipients, the following happens; [EMAIL PROTECTED] has the message delivered to him (or her) and then also receives a Virus Warning Message. I need to stop the virus Virus Warning Message from getting delivered. [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets only the Virus Warning Message, which is the desired affect.

A (somewhat remote) possibility is that this is a TCP-level issue with the client's network (or yours, but that's unlikely if it's the only user having the problem). There was a bug in older versions of FreeBSD with the handling of TCP window scaling going through their firewalls. The usual symptoms were that smaller communications would go through fine, but any extended communication would just die. If the client system is behind one of these FreeBSD firewalls with an older version of FreeBSD on it, that might be the issue. -- Dave Miller http://www.justdave.net/ System Administrator, Mozilla Corporation http://www.mozilla.com/ Project Leader, Bugzilla Bug Tracking System http://www.bugzilla.org/ - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ AMaViS-user mailing list AMaViS-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/amavis-user AMaViS-FAQ:http://www.amavis.org/amavis-faq.php3 AMaViS-HowTos:http://www.amavis.org/howto/
Re: [AMaViS-user] any amavisd-nfs gotchas?
Why bother putting any of that on nfs? I can somewhat understand putting postfix spool on nfs, but not a good idea I don't see a need to put amavis tmp on nfs, it's temp, and shouldn't really hold anything useful anyways. I would never put mysql on nfs, just the speed of it would slow it down. Plus mysql is network, so you don't need multible computers to access the datafiles. And if your paranoid about backups, you can make backups, or just use a slave, or both. I use nfs for mysql dump backups, and users maildir. Other than that, postfix, amavisd, mysql is all on the local drive. Right now I'm running 1 mysql server, and 3 postfix/amavis servers.

I believe I see what's going on now. 230 MB RMA inactive or free. You need more RAM we'll shoot for 2 GB Try 6 amavisd processes for a start (Scientific Wild Ass Guess), and adjust up or down from there as necessary. If it starts swapping, drop the number of processes, of course. Make sure that the Postfix concurrency setting for injection into amavisd is set to match. local concurrency was 2, upped now to 10. local_destination_concurrency_limit = 10 default_destination_concurrency_limit = 10 Ahhh, I think that's your problem. I think these concurrency limits are not applying to amavisd injection. Check your Postfix master.cf - it may have a specific process limit of 2 set for the amavisd injection instance of smtp. Alternatively, check whether your main.cf has a vscan_concurrency_limit = 2 for vscan or whatever you've called the special amavisd injection processes in master.cf. -- Clifton -- Clifton Royston -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] President - I and I Computing * http://www.iandicomputing.com/ Custom programming, network design, systems and network consulting services - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ AMaViS-user mailing list AMaViS-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/amavis-user AMaViS-FAQ:http://www.amavis.org/amavis-faq.php3 AMaViS-HowTos:http://www.amavis.org/howto/

We had this problem because vscan was inefficiently unzipping archives to scan the files inside.

Have you enabled the ram disk for amavis temporary files? That made a huge difference on my system. For my system I have the following in /etc/rc.d : amavisd_ram=100M For my 1gb system with 2 amavis processes, seems to do the trick for me with no swapping. As I recall, amavis processing dropped from about 40s to 3-4s on my lowly dual P3-300 system.
