Scott;

Just thought i would share some stats with you regarding our 3 GP boxes.
each box has several spamd processes running at 50-60 megs a peice
as you can see these systems arent slouches with processor nor memory but we seem to be eating alot. I need to see 1 if its possible for qmail-scanner to skip messages larger than say a meg... might try and find a qmail-scanner forum or group. Just wandering if this is consistant with everyone.

thats a pretty normal amount of memory for a busy spamd to be running. I know you can set the max-size of a message that will be scanned by clamav (I think the default is 20M). Spamd though, I dont think theres any way to limit that.

Scott;

would that be "StreamMaxLength ? under /etc/clamd.conf which defaults to 10 megs?

That would certainly effect clamav, I think the way it works is that any file larger than that wont be scanned. It wouldnt have any effect on SA or q-s though
