Betr.: MailScanner to crash several times

[Ken Brady]

I had the same problem and had to disable the Sane Security Definitions in  Clamav.  

Maillog:
Quarantined message p7GF1Wuu024997 as it caused MailScanner to crash several times
 

MailScanner --debug
In Debugging mode, not forking...
Trying to setlogsock(unix)
Building a message batch to scan...
Have a batch of 30 messages.
Can't call method "CombineReports" on unblessed reference at /usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/MessageBatch.pm line 736.

Messages log:
MailScanner: waiting for children to die: Process did not exit cleanly, returned 255 with signal 0

Clamav log:
/opt/mail/incoming/9458/p7BKf75l013289.header: Sanesecurity.Jurlbl.3982.UNOFFICIAL FOUND

The above errors would repeat for every message in the queue and quarantine them until I stopped MailScanner and Clamd services and waited 5 minutes.   After that I could move all of the messages back into the queue and they would scan and process ok.      After disabling Sane Security in Clamav the problem hasn't returned.

Before disabling Sane Security I tried updating MailScanner and Clamav,  lowering child processes,  searching for spaces in virus names in clamav.

hi

there are a lot of the samme messages for each email that it tries to handle and gives up on. Nothing has been updated and it has been running for a long time since last reboot (now I dont know exacly but im guessing months since last reboot). 

I tried lowering the child count to 4, having retry count = 6 and I even set virusscanner = none 

still getting the error

Are there no more messages then these 3 ?
I remember having something simular when there was a permission problem after an update. Or when you have the max retries at the same or a lower setting then the number of childs MS can spam, then the old age timer can grab valid e-mails.
