<div dir="ltr"><div>Had similar problems here and also found that disabling the Processing Attempts database code fixed it - no more loops. I don't see it as a clamd problem though - looks more like SA crashing on processing. I now from time to time see messages that I 'think' would cause the problems if Processing Attempts were enabled - they seem to get processed 4-6 times before going on though and being seen as spam and quarantined. Not causing any real problems this way so leaving as is.<br>

I've changed in mailscanner - Maximum Processing Attempts = 0<br>
And now I've changed this in clamd.conf -<br>
<br>
SelfCheck 3600<br>
<br>
It was set to 10 minutes and I think it just restarts itself, then mailscanner cannot find the socket and starts complaining. I'll give it more time and see if the errors persist.<br>
<br>
Since disabling the processing attempts I see no mail looping (Yay). From reading an old thread from Julian, it is off by default. I don't really understand what it does.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

You can try using clamscan not clamd or clamdscan.<br>
clamscan works not so fast - it loads virus database each time it started, but you can obtain reliability this way. You can decrease number of MailScanner child processes to decrease system load.<br>

<br>
| 0.98.1_1<br>
|<br>
| I tried using the .3 version but it doesn't compile for me either. I'm waiting for the .4 version to become available in the<br>
freebsd ports. I'm not sure it's going to fix my problem through.<br>
|<br>
| I would say it's a permission problem but it works most of the time, so could it be?<br>
|<br>
| When I get a heavy load like a ddos or something, it breaks. Clamd crashes and then restarts, processes some mail but then crashes<br>
again. Since I changed the Processing db to 0 I don't get this loop any more, so I'm happy now, but I really want to try and fix the<br>
clamd crashing problems.<br>
|<br>
| I will continue to debug clamd.<br>
|<br>
| Thanks,<br>
