MailScanner: Process did not exit cleanly, returned 9 with signal 0

[anas asree]

Hi..

I'm using Mailscanner-4.69, Postfix-2.45 with OpenSuse 10.3..

Recently we keep seeing this message in  /var/log/messages..
Apr 30 16:29:54  MailScanner: Process did not exit cleanly, returned 9 with signal 0
Apr 30 16:30:50  syslog-ng[2760]: last message repeated 9 times

and coincidently the servers which is getting this message is delaying many messages in queue. sometimes up to 700+ messages in one time. Some of the users complained that they have to wait for 3 hours to get new emails that was sent to them.

This is the output of MailScanner --lint and MailScanner --debug

If any of your virus scanners (clamav)

and that MailScanner is finding them correctly via its virus.scanners.conf.
