<rvdmerwe@mhg.co.za>:<BR>><BR>> I did apply the updated
Message.pm file I am however still seeing the<BR>> increased load
on the server compared to versions 4.69.9-3 and
prior.<BR>><BR>> My 2 servers run at around lavg of 0.8, since
first updating the one<BR>> server then the other (can correlate
this on my load graphs) the load<BR>> now is around
1.5-2.<BR>><BR>> Unfortunatly I didn't have the MailScanner
performance logging enabled<BR>> previously so I can't compare
the internal runtimes to then.<BR>><BR>> I am running 12
children on a 4 way box with 4096Mb ram with incoming<BR>> area
in tmpfs on CentOS 5.2 x86_64. Looking at my graphs I can see
an<BR>> increase in my CPU User time, CPU System time increased
slightly but<BR>> IOWait seem relatively the same. I am also
running ClamAV module 0.22<BR>> with ClamAV 0.94.<BR>><BR>>
I could revert to an older build of MailScanner to test, but there
is<BR>a<BR>> compatibility issue with CLamAv? Or will ClamAV
module handle that?<BR>><BR>> Let me know if there is anything
else I can provide.<BR>><BR>> Regards<BR>>

Seriously though, if you are using 4.72.5 you might need the
latest<BR>> Message.pm fix that Jules posted, or else you would
see the children<BR>> start to loop on some specific messages...
Notably, the busy<BR>> MailScanner child will report "cleaning
messages" as commandline in<BR>> "ps"... and never leave that
state.<BR>> Solutions would be:<BR>> - get a hold of the fixed
Message.pm and drop that into place (restart<BR>> MS after that),
or<BR>> - revert to 4.71, or<BR>> - wait for Jules to post a
new release with the fix incorporated<BR>> (there just might be a
new beta around the corner:-).<BR>><BR>> Cheers<BR>>
