Hmmmm....
We had in /usr/local/etc/clamav.conf
# Files in archives larger than this limit won't be scanned.
# Value of 0 disables the limit.
# WARNING: Due to the unrarlib implementation, whole files (one by one)
in RAR
# archives are decompressed to the memory. That's why never disable
# this limit (but you may increase it of course!)
ArchiveMaxFileSize 10M
So I assume that this refers to the size of the archive, rather than the
size of the uncompressed file. It looks like I can reduce this to 100K
or whatever.
Thanks
Bill
