kevin,

that simply means, that the attachement, which you received with your  
server, had another encoding.
ok, had you tried to reproduce this phenomena again, with the same  
attachement sent?

it depends on the senders email-program, how those attached files get  
encoded for sending via internet.
there're a dozen different encodings used over the net.

mine liked to choke an octet-stream encoded attachements. can't say  
if base64 would cause trouble. i would like to test this, so if your  
file doesn't contain confidental data, please sent it to my email  
adress. i'll report back, if clamd goes to nirvana.

The attachments in the email were encoded in base64. I grep'd the  
logs for amavis and didn't find anything that said octet, so I'm not  
really sure if that answers the question or not. I also tried upping  
the logging in clamd.conf, but the best I could get was pass/fail  
messages. No additional details show up in the clam log. Maybe there  
is some option I am missing. LogVerbose was set to yes.

kevin,

i ran into the same problem with clamd, but was able to dig a bit  
deeper and figuring out, that as soon as an attachement was encoded  
in octet-stream clamd would run nuts. the logs showed it crashed, but  
the process was still alive – just freaking out and using slowly all  
available cpu-cycles until nothing was left. the kernel process was  
getting a bit stressed and used around 30% (DC 1.66 here) and clamd  
the rest.

please just look into your logs and report back, if these  
attachements were sent encoded in octet-stream.

until then,
greets,

oliver

[Clamav-users] Anyone solve the powerpoint issue yet?

2007-07-30 Thread Kevin Windham
I was reading the archives and it seems that powerpoint files can  
cause problems with clamd. I ended up disabling the OLE2 scanning due  
to problems with powerpoint files, but has anyone looked into this  
further and found a real solution? (I am using clamav 91.1 on an  
intel Mac Mini.)

I also notice that clamscan doesn't seem to have the same problem  
clamd does, but I haven't looked into that further yet since I needed  
to get my mail server up and running again. It may be a configuration  
difference that I didn't notice.

TIA,
Kevin

Hi Ronald,
Really, the problem was wich SE policy..
