Something's not right on my new server.

This is a CentOS 5 server running Plesk 8.3, with the atomic qmailscanner, et al.

Here's what my log is firing out:

There's obviously something wrong.

Any suggestions?

check to make sure clamd is running

Part of the problem identified.

Okay, I found part of the problem was that the clamd.log wasn't created and didn't have the proper permissions set.

That got the clamd running without error.

Apparently the server was holding all of the mail until it could scan it with clamd. It caused a pretty significant delay in processing the mail.

Now that clamd is running properly it seems to be filtering through now.
Thanks Scott, for your (as usual) prompt replies.
