Virus Scan problems (taking up to much memory)

erobertstad
My inbox is now being flooded with the following kinds of E-Mails:

Subject: SelfMonitoring: To much memory for a single process: 39628 kb (29
    times)

ALARM - to much memory for a single process:
39628 kb for /opt/AVP/AvpLinux -v -V
/var/spool/qmailscan/virus_scan_99323838430927

/opt/AVP/AvpLinux -v -V /var/spool/qmailscan/virus_scan_99323838430927

Any ideas on this one, or at least a work around?

Thanks,
Eirik

    Any ideas? I only have one... Did you get a really large attachment? If so that could be the cause. If you have a look in the file /etc/rc.d/qmail you will see that there are messages in there about the memory usage.

    Aparenty QMAIL is set to use memory in proportion to the size of the message it is scanning. 

    Hope this helps
