Are you using a recent version of MailScanner or are you using some
distributions idea of a "safe" version?
Did you install the proper version for your distro?
Maybe you could give info of what OS, which version of MailScanner, clamd, ETC...
sure.
Some Background:
Dell PowerEdge 2950 8gb Ram
Ubuntu 7.04
Perl 5.8.8
MailScanner 4.68.8
Postfix 2.3.8
ClamAV 94.2 d/loaded from the MailScanner site.
SpamAssassin 3.2.4
it's been running pretty well for well over a year.
I ran cpan update and tried to install the perl clamav module
without any luck, I get errors when it tries to compile.
It's giving me errors saying that clam is too old! I downloaded that file last week.
I fear I may have mangled the whole thing now.
Originally we turned off Virus scanning because it couldn't keep up with the load.
users expect messages to fly through within 5 or 10 minutes, if it doesn't then I hear about it.
I wanted to try and get that back enabled with the clamd version but it looks like I may have other
issues as well.
thanks
