[Mimedefang] mimedefang blocked since this morning

[Kevin A. McGrail]

Hi Florin,

So A) I have a system watcher on mimedefang and clamd. Yesterday it went
off 5 times. That is highly unusual.

B) I have a pdf that unfortunately does bad things and effectively stops
clamd. There is a security bug with the clamav team about this.

So you should design your system to expect messages can stop things
because they can.

I haven't researched issue a yet but I will predict it will be a message
that is blowing up the innards somewhere.
Regards,
KAM

    Recovered by itself, without any modifications. It looks like there was a network problem, something like interrogating the public lists (either spamassassin or clamav) and waiting forever for the response. I'm waiting for the confirmation from our network engineer, but I see no other explanation.

    However, this case showed us that we don't know how to find the blocking point, if it's a spamassassin problem, or clamav. If you know how, can you please answer this point ? 

    Thank you very much.
