    Hello,

    In many of our servers, I could see clamd always taking much CPU resource as well as memory. But those servers are not having any type of spam attack. But still its resource usage keeps varying from high to low frequently. Also spamd and mailman is showing in the top range when we give "top" command. Can any one shed some light on this?

    Hello,

    Do you have a catch-all address setup by chance?
    Check the mailboxes for the domains you had setup on the server and see if you dont have more email than usual.

    Also, a good hint would be to check the exim queue and see if the email server is not receiving emails for real.

    If you note everything is clean, you should start thinking about reinstalling MailScanner and clamAV and properly configure both.

    Actually I set it to FAIL.

    Mail queue is also normal as per my usage.

    Any other guess? Or do I want to reinstall MailScanner and clamAV?
