Mailscanner loops stops processing emails.

[Richard Mealing]

Hi,

I'm having problems with mailscanner where I see the error like - Quarantined message s4K962Jg091731 as it caused MailScanner to crash several times

Here's my debug -

mailscanner --debug


In Debugging mode, not forking...
Trying to setlogsock(unix)
Building a message batch to scan...
Have a batch of 30 messages.
Can't call method "CombineReports" on unblessed reference at /usr/local/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/MessageBatch.pm line 736.

I cannot see any problems with permissions, but I will be glad to share them with the list. Just let me know what you want to look at.

The only thing that seems to fix this is deleting the Processing.db file for mailscanner, then restarting mailscanner. If I have a large queue then it just happens again and I start seeing "Making attempt 2 at processing message s4K9YVUO015387" etc etc.

Does anyone else see this problem or is it just me?

MailScanner-4.84.6
sendmail-8.14.5
clamav-0.98.1_1
FreebSD 8.2-RELEASE

Thanks,
Rich

make sure the MailScanner perl script has the -U flag at the top, sounds
like the usual taint mode issues.

Hi Martin,

Thanks, but that doesn?t work for me.
I changed the Processing attemtps to 0 and now I see clamd timing out and crashing in the logs.

Lots of this -
MailScanner[66580]: Virus Scanning: No virus scanners worked, so message batch was abandoned and re-tried!

Lots of this ?
MailScanner[71612]: Cannot find Socket (/var/run/clamav/clamd) Exiting!

My socket does match mailscanner..

But now all the emails seem to be processing and obviously now not being quarantined my mailscanner.

I?m debugging clamd but I can?t find anything obvious in the logs. I?ve opened a thread with the clamd list.

Here?s some of my clamconf ?n -

LogFile = "/var/log/clamav/clamd.log"
LogFileMaxSize = "104857600"
LogTime = "yes"
LogVerbose = "yes"
PidFile = "/var/run/clamav/clamd.pid"
TemporaryDirectory = "/tmp"
LocalSocket = "/var/run/clamav/clamd"
MaxConnectionQueueLength = "30"
MaxThreads = "50"
ReadTimeout = "300"
CommandReadTimeout = "7"
MaxQueue = "300"
Debug = "yes"
User = "clamav"
AllowSupplementaryGroups = "yes"
StructuredMinCreditCardCount = "5"
StructuredMinSSNCount = "5"
MaxRecursion = "20"

Here?s my mailscanner processing timeouts ?


Max Unscanned Bytes Per Scan = 100m
Max Unsafe Bytes Per Scan = 50m
Max Unscanned Messages Per Scan = 30
Max Unsafe Messages Per Scan = 30


I?m wondering if there is something here I need to change. Any advice would obviously be appreciated!!

Rich

0.98.1_1

I tried using the .3 version but it doesn't compile for me either. I'm waiting for the .4 version to become available in the freebsd ports. I'm not sure it's going to fix my problem through.

I would say it's a permission problem but it works most of the time, so could it be?

When I get a heavy load like a ddos or something, it breaks. Clamd crashes and then restarts, processes some mail but then crashes again. Since I changed the Processing db to 0 I don't get this loop any more, so I'm happy now, but I really want to try and fix the clamd crashing problems.

I will continue to debug clamd.

Thanks,
Rich

You can try using clamscan not clamd or clamdscan.
clamscan works not so fast - it loads virus database each time it started, but you can obtain reliability this way. You can decrease
number of MailScanner child processes to decrease system load.

OK, I will give that a go.

I've changed in mailscanner - Maximum Processing Attempts = 0
And now I've changed this in clamd.conf -

SelfCheck 3600

It was set to 10 minutes and I think it just restarts itself, then mailscanner cannot find the socket and starts complaining. I'll give it more time and see if the errors persist.

Since disabling the processing attempts I see no mail looping (Yay). From reading an old thread from Julian, it is off by default. I don't really understand what it does.

Thanks,
Rich

[Chris Stone]

Had similar problems here and also found that disabling the Processing
Attempts database code fixed it - no more loops. I don't see it as a clamd
problem though - looks more like SA crashing on processing. I now from time
to time see messages that I 'think' would cause the problems if Processing
Attempts were enabled - they seem to get processed 4-6 times before going
on though and being seen as spam and quarantined. Not causing any real
problems this way so leaving as is.

I cannot see any problems with permissions, but I will be glad to share
them with the list. Just let me know what you want to look at.
The only thing that seems to fix this is deleting the Processing.db file
for mailscanner, then restarting mailscanner. If I have a large queue then
it just happens again and I start seeing ?Making attempt 2 at processing
message s4K9YVUO015387? etc etc.
Does anyone else see this problem or is it just me?
MailScanner-4.84.6
sendmail-8.14.5
clamav-0.98.1_1
FreebSD 8.2-RELEASE
Thanks,
Rich
