I have the same problem too. My server stopped delivering mail yesterday, and as a temporary workaround I just moved the /etc/amavis/conf.d/15-av_scanners to the /root/ directory and restarted amavis resulting in NO virusscanning, but mail are beeing delivered. I shut down clamav processes and started googling and I have found this to be a bug in ClamAV version 0.90.1 The bug is fixed in version 0.91rc2. So you could use backport packages, or look for another antivirus scanner. - Tomas B In Response To: Hi all, I'm suddenly having problems with what seems to be my clamav installation - clamav 0.90.1-3etch8 on Debian 4.0 Etch i386 (kernel 2.6.18-6-686-18etch1). Things have been fine until about a week or two ago when my server started bombing-out (no access at all, and I would have to physically reboot the machine). Anyway, I've been getting a lot of this type of problem: Feb 12 06:51:16 server postfix/smtpd[5742]: disconnect from unknown[123.123.123.123] Feb 12 06:51:24 server amavis[5579]: (05579-06) (!) /usr/bin/clamscan is taking longer than 315 s and will be killed Feb 12 06:51:24 server amavis[5579]: (05579-06) (!) killing process [6110] running /usr/bin/clamscan Feb 12 06:51:24 server amavis[5579]: (05579-06) (!) run_av: timed out Feb 12 06:51:24 server amavis[5579]: (05579-06) (!!)

TROUBLE in check_mail: virus_scan FAILED: virus_scan: ALL VIRUS SCANNERS FAILED: ClamAV-clamd av-scanner FAILED: Too many retries to talk to /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl (Can't connect to UNIX socket /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl: No such file or directory) at (eval 44) line 268.; ClamAV-clamscan av-scanner FAILED: /usr/bin/clamscan timed out at (eval 44) line 462. I've searched Google and reluctantly changed ownership and permissions (from clamav to amavis), but that obviously did not seem to be the problem. Does anybody know what could be wrong, and what I need to do to fix this problem? When it gets that far, my mail server (Postfix) is not receiving mail. Thanks in advance for any/all help!
