Hi,

I recently upgraded one of my servers to RHEL version 4. After bringing
this into use I noticed a problem with load on the server going up
dramatically. On inspection I saw a mailscanner process consuming 1.4GB of
memory. This was causing the system to page memory frantically!!!.
Looking in the log files I saw indications that sophossavi was seeing some
of the mail as a denial of service attack and noticed that certain files
from my incoming spool file were not been processed. However some of the
files were been processed.  I switched the scanner type from sophossavi to
sophos and these files were cleared and the problems with memory and load
haven't reoccurred. Thinking that there was some problem with Savi-Perl I
downloaded the latest version and recompiled it. It ran make OK; but on
"make test" I got the following message below. [At the end of this message
are the details of my system and version of mailscanner] Obviously I am OK
using sophos but would like sophossavi to work - Has anyone got this
working under RHEL 4 or had similar problem (with hopefully a fix)?
