  Peter,
  If I had to guess it would be 1.7. Did 1.7 support clamAv?
 
 Yep, that is the first version with ClamAV support. Another message here 
 triggered something and I have found a potential lockup. I am now fixing 
 it.
 
 Anybody willing to test please send me an email.
 


I'm willing. Send it to me.

Ok guys... let me know if any of you have seen this or tried this.  I took
the process that was running in limbo and ran it from command.  All the
sudden the below message kept on repeating.  I had to press CTRL+C to stop
it.

Here is my command and the output:

COMMAND
---
/usr/bin/perl -w /var/MailRoot/filters/checkvirus.pl
/var/MailRoot/spool/14/13/slog/1059064707303.376856.localhost
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1059064707303.376856.localhost

/var/MailRoot/filters/checkvirus.pl line 772, MAILFILE line 7.
Use of uninitialized value in index at /var/MailRoot/filters/checkvirus.pl
line 774, MAILFILE line 7.
---

I have no clue, but if I had to press control + c to manually stop this than
I can only assume that each of the processes are doing the same thing and so
that is why it is so intense on the system.

The thing I did change between the command listed in the process and the
command you see above is that I had to pull a message from the slog
directory instead of the mess directory, because there were no messages in
the mess directory.

 I thought the version I had that worked was the 1.0 version, but I
 guess that's probably wrong. Which was the first version to support
 clamAV?

1.8 was the first version to support clamav, I believe.  Peter and I had a
beta version that I tested with him before that.  Both do the same thing,
but they did not do it at first.  At least, I did not notice it until about
roughly 2-3weeks ago?

Hi Benny:

Funny - never thought to try that myself - I'll try playing around with that
myself next time I see a hung process.

However, the file in the slog directory is substantially different from
the message in the mess directory - the file is a log of XMail's delivery
attempts for the message (good for debugging frozen and/or bounced
messages). If you're looking for an actual message file in the correct spool
format, you'll probably want to log in the froz directory instead.

Interesting, Jeff either way, if there is an exploit out there or not,
shouldn't the script kill itself no matter what kind of file is passed to
it?  If these assumptions are correct, an exploit would make sense because
we all started to see it as just happening with no configuration changes.
But if there is anything I have learned with technology  assumptions
will kill ya.  So, I will stop assuming now.  :)

Hi Jeff:

That thought had occurred to me - but since (at least in my case) by the
time I notice a hung filter, the file is no longer in the spool, I haven't
had a chance to examine it.

Looking through the filter errors in my /var/log/messages, the sender's
addresses all look spammy, so maybe there's a fubar spam mailer out there
that has some screwed headers etc. in it? Again, without being able to
recover the actual message spool file, there's no way to tell, and I'm just
making (hopefully educated) guesses...

If we're on the right track here, then having the script log the input data to 
a temp file before processing and deleting it when finished might be useful. 
When a process hangs the undeleted temp file would still be there for 
forensic examination, unless of course the argument itself causes the 
error. Either way we'd know more than we know now  :-)  We'll have to see 
what Peter thinks of our ramblings.

Does it make a change when you first run the AV script and then Spamassasin?

 I have no clue, but if I had to press control + c to manually stop this than
 I can only assume that each of the processes are doing the same thing and so
 that is why it is so intense on the system.
 
 The thing I did change between the command listed in the process and the
 command you see above is that I had to pull a message from the slog
 directory instead of the mess directory, because there were no messages in
 the mess directory.

I have an idea, if I analyze this correctly the message cannot be read 
correctly and then the filter is in a loop. I will change this function 
so this cannot happen. I'll announce it here when it is ready!

  The only other information that might help is that I am using ClamAV and

  filters.in.tab
 
  I am going to turn off the SpamAssassin filter by removing it from
  filters.in.tab.  Then i will see if it happens or as often and post
  back here.

 Does it make a change when you first run the AV script and then
 Spamassasin?

 This is how it works here in filters.in.tab

 *   * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 av-filter.tab
 *   * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 safilter.tab

 Is it a possibility that the AV script is started but the message is
 allready dropped by the sa filter?


Hi Peter

I have 2 servers set up exactly this way with the AV fllter first, and I've 
had the problem in both of them now.

With what version did you never saw this problem?

 
 Peter,
 If I had to guess it would be 1.7. Did 1.7 support clamAv?

Yep, that is the first version with ClamAV support. Another message here 
triggered something and I have found a potential lockup. I am now fixing 
it.

Anybody willing to test please send me an email.

Hi

Has anyone had any hassles with the AV script. http://www.lindeman.org/filters.html

Im finding messages hanging when being downloaded, seems the AV scanning corrupts it 
in someway. It seems that the message never finishes when being downloaded, which in 
turn leaves the client waiting till a timeout happens...?


Any ideas?

Thanks 

Richard.

well, have seen that the mail is corrupted or are you searching for an

If its a specific short mail that causes the trouble, could you provide 
it to one of us as an attachement, so that one could have a look at it?
