Hi After an update of the definition on ClamAV 2AM GMT, all email on my mail
server failed to deliver.

An error message shows up like this.

Nov 15 01:20:06 mail01a MailScanner[14801]: None of the files matched by the
"Monitors For ClamAV Updates" patterns exist!

When I restart MailScanner - the MailScanner process die repeatedly. (See
the defunct MailScanner)

30589 ?        Ss     0:00 MailScanner: starting child
30594 ?        S      0:00 MailWatch SQL
30610 pts/1    S+     0:00 grep MailScanner
30623 ?        Z      0:04 [MailScanner] <defunct>
30629 ?        Z      0:04 [MailScanner] <defunct>

30656 ?        R      0:04 MailScanner: starting child
30670 ?        S      0:00 MailScanner: starting child


I have to disable virus scanning before I can restart MaiLScanner and email
starts to deliver again.

I am running ClamAV 0.96 and using the clamavmodule to activate the ClamAV.
This setup has been running for over a year and not giving us any problem.

Please advise how we can check what goes wrong.

Thanks!
