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
