MailScanner + ClamAV Performance
Jan 23, 2007I am looking into implementing an antivirus/spam relay server using Postfix + MailScanner + SpamAssassin. Does anyone here have experience with this kind of solution?
What kind of rough performance in messages/hour or messages/day could I expect from a server like this:
PowerEdge 2950
2x QuadCore Xeon E5320 (1.8GHz)
8GB RAM
4x 146GB 15,000rpm SAS in RAID 10
Getfile: Can't Write 1448 Bytes To /usr/share/clamav/clamav-917a563483a6171fe02eac005
Jul 29, 2009I can't update Clamav.
root@constan [~]# freshclam
sda1: write failed, user block limit reached.

Jan 17, 2007Is there any way to define black lists for a specific domain?
Like, a file for each user: user1.cf, user2.cf.
And when that user receives email, Mailscanner will check server-wide filter AND domain specific filter.
Any advanced MS/SA users?

MailScanner Configuration Causes High Load
Mar 7, 2007Recently installed MailScanner using chirpy's script. Everything is fine.. but the big problem is that the load average is very high after installed this software.
Server is RedHat ES 4 + cPanel - Dual Xeon CPU 3.20GHz x 4 procs. 2 GB RAM with high e-mail traffic.
Can anyone give me some tips to configure MailScanner to stop spam and avoid a high load average?
Maybe you can tell me what variables are u using in the config file..
MailScanner- Thousands Of Mails In Mqueue.in
Jan 4, 2007My sever is running mailscanner-4.56.8-1. Of late many of our customers complain that mails send To and From our server take hours to be delievered.
I tested this myself by sending test emails to and from my hotmail account which took long time to be received and delivered.
Also, in /var/log/maillog i see entries such as the one below;
"Jan 4 20:39:36 www MailScanner[8461]: New Batch: Found 17678 messages waiting "
So i understand there is about 18 thousand emails in MailScanner /var/spool/mqueue.in folder.
To test i stopped MailScanner and started Sendmail, i send an email to my hotmail id and it got delievered immediately, but when i restart MailScanner and resend the same message it took 20mins to get delievered.
- how do i improve MailScanner processing so that messages are delivered faster?
- Do i need to change the "Max Children = 5" variable in /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf?
- how do i force delivery of the 18thousand emails in mqueue.in folder?

Unable To Open Spam.scanning.rules - MailScanner
Mar 5, 2007I was trying to install mailscanner on a cpanel box using chirpy's script [url], followed every step, until this:
Code:
[root@server.yourbox.com:~]perl mscpanel.pl -i
Unable to open spam.scanning.rules for reading: file or directory doesnt exist at mscpanel.pl line 115.
On the 115 line i found this:
Code:
open (IN, "</usr/mailscanner/etc/rules/spam.scanning.rules") or die "Unable to open spam.scanning.rules for reading: $!";
The file /usr/mailscanner/etc/rules/spam.scanning.rules just doesnt exists... maybe chirpy's script is not working well installing everything its needed..

ClamAV Problems
Apr 20, 2008My hosting provider (which will go unnamed because I doubt they would appreciate me broadcasting the fact that their server-based antivirus software isn't working properly) is experiencing almost daily email delivery failures on multiple shared servers because ClamAV stops working. They say they are running the latest stable versions of exim and ClamAV, but that "there is no guarantee...that the clamav error will not happen again". Right around the time this started happening, there was an article on the ComputerWorld web site (http://www.computerworld.com/action/...icleId=9077638) about a ClamAV patch being released to fix a security vulnerability. I'm wondering whether that patch was buggy, and whether other hosting providers are having problems with ClamAV. (It would probably be a good idea not to mention any providers by name because of the security implications.)

CPanel MySQL/Clamav
Dec 11, 2008A few weeks ago I installed clamav using the cPanel "Manage Plug-Ins". It all seemed fine but my server load kept going ridiculously high. I couldn't work out what was wrong until I managed to get a ps aux when it was very high and found that clamd was using ridiculous amounts of memory/cpu. It's not such a big deal having it on my server, so I decide to uninstall it. After uninstalling it, MySQL started to randomly turn off regularly (around every 30 minutes). I tried forcing a cPanel update, updating the MySQL files, reinstalling MySQL, etc. but nothing has seemed to fix it. So as a last resort, I've reinstalled Clamav and now my MySQL is fine but my server load keeps going ridiculously high again; causing problems still.
Has anyone/cPanel ever experienced this problem? I need to find a solution as almost every account on my server uses MySQL as a basis for their website, so I can't have it going down even for less than a minute.
ClamAV On A CPanel Server
Oct 27, 2009I've got ClamAV installed on my cPanel (Dedicated) server with a single site and would am having trouble setting up ClamAV to scan emails.
I installed it via WHM and have set it up in WHM to scan all items.
Ie: WHM -> Plugins -> Configure ClamAV Scanner -> Scan ALL items
After doing a few manual scans however (using 'clamscan -ri') I'm finding infections in the account mail folder.
1. Is there a good guide to setting up ClamAV on a cPanel serve do do automatic mail scanning? I was under the impression that ClamAV scans emails also however after doing some reading people seem to recommend MailScanner.
2. My logwatch is giving me the following error.
The ClamAV update process (freshclam daemon) was not running! If you no longer wish to run freshclam, deleting the freshclam.log file will suppress this error message.
The freshclam daemon wasn't running so I've started it (freshclam --daemon). I've also checked the freshclam.conf file and the logrile is set as follows:
UpdateLogFile /var/log/freshclam.log

Apr 2, 2005I am recently trying to install the ClamAV program onto my servers. Everything goes well and it is able to get installed but I am encountering some problems.
1) The program keeps recurring the scanning process on my /home directory and will not stop looping.... I waited for around 12 hours but it still keeps looping....
2) I have started the clamd and tested it out by loading a virus onto my server... Nothing happens... the file still is able to be uploaded and excuted....
Is there anyway for ClamAV to auto scan everything that gets uploaded or transmitted into the server? And also mail me its daily scan logs that is issue to be stored in a specific directory.

Remote Clamav Server
Dec 10, 2006I would like to know if its possible and if someone is using a remote clamav server to check the messages against viruses.
We are running around 15 servers and all of them have the clamd installed, and we waste time upgrading the software, database and also monitoring many services that are exactly the same one.
Our idea is to setup a central server that those 15 servers will send the message for checking first.
We are running cPanel and Exim on those 15 servers.
We have implemented remote spamassassin checking this week and its working like a charm.
