MailScanner --lint Hangs *SOLVED*

[Edward Janowiak]

ClamAV was using all the memory.

I had a system with 1vCPU and 2GB of memory. ClamAV used nearly all of the 2GB of memory. I scaled the VM up to 2vCPU and 4GB of memory. Everything is now running optimally. 

Based on the documentation, 2GB should have been enough memory. Obviously, it wasn’t.

Best regards,
Edward
