Package: clamav-milter Version: 0.81-2 Hi. I'm using clamav-milter on a pretty busy mail server that uses sendmail (from debian, 8.13.3-6). We have run 'testing' for a long time, and it has worked well until recently (perhaps a few weeks at most). Sometimes, in the syslog I get these:
Feb 25 23:47:53 yxa sm-mta[9481]: j1PMhp23009481: Milter (clamav): timeout before data read Feb 25 23:47:53 yxa sm-mta[9481]: j1PMhp23009481: Milter (clamav): to error state And when this happen, I have tons of clamav-milter processes running: ... clamav 9529 0.0 0.2 391440 2812 ?

It is not clear exactly what real problems this causes. Delivering mail to local users (which should be virus scanned) appear to be suspended. No mail is discarded or bounced, as far as I can tell. If I restart the 'clamav-milter' service, everything starts to work again. It doesn't seem to recover from this condition by itself. Any ideas? Config files below, at least clamav-milter has been slightly modified.
