Okay just wanted to let everyone know its stable and working.. been a couple months or at least over a month.

If anyone else has this problem - read this post as well; should help. https://www.hmailserver.com/forum/viewt ... ead#unread

Thanks everyone

I just want to post back that this resolved the issue.. No more server hangs.. and the service is still running on the other server. i didn't dig though the logs to see if it has crashed at all and restarted. But if it did it started backup.. as its still scanning mail. Its caught a few virus' as we...

In "ClamWin Free Antivirus Scanner Service" service properties under tab "Recovery" I have set First and Second Failure to restart the service, so that's been triggered as soon the service terminates (Subsequent failures I left as is, eg: Take no action) I dont think i ever set this in the past for...

I use some additional sanesecurity definitions, these are updated more regular, at least once per hour it seems looking at my logs With these the database modification is detected at least once every hour. Forcing a reload, followed by a ClamAv crash (ERROR: reload db failed: Can't allocate memory)...

Nope, but i only notice this behavior occasionally... maybe 1 or 2 times a month Most times this issue fixes itself when a database modification is detected. Forcing a reload, followed by a crash and then a restart of the service Do you experience this more regularly? What version of ClamAv are you...

Okay i'm running clamav on another box.. working so far.. but will see in a few weeks what happens i guess.. I'm using 99.4 / since i'm using the calmwin updates for now.. (i couldn't find the build so i had to download it from an old forum link https://www.hmailserver.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2041...

I'll also add that my ClamAV is NOT on the same machine that runs hMailserver I have a Linux box that runs SpamAssassin and ClamAV (and a few other bits) I run hMail, ClamAV and Spamassassin (with ClamAV connection) on the same box. 9/10 times ClamAV under SA find something that ClamAV under hMail ...

mine are on the same box.. and yes they do co-inside.... im just using clamwin updates.. so when you setup clamwin you choose external virus scanner put in the ip and port? and yours doesnt freeze hmail if it cant connect.. i could try doing this perhaps.. i could install on another box i have runn...

I allocated more memory.. but it didn't help.. seems like i got the same error in spamd.log SelfCheck: Database status OK. ERROR: pthread_create failed ERROR: pthread_create failed it hung the deliverytask in smtp.. and messages just queued up.. again.. took just under a month to crash again.. I tri...

This one Ever solved? I'm having same issue i think.. In my Clamd.log file.. i get this.. after it runs for 20 - 30 days usually.. It stop the delievery queue in hmailserver.. and mails just queue up.. SelfCheck: Database status OK. ERROR: pthread_create failed ERROR: pthread_create failed Here is m...

Long read (great updates and detail) . Short response: My clamav setup is as standard (as you would have had it from my install guide) and i have no problems of this kind BUT I am a low throughout server. You should note that the standard definitions of clamav stands at taking about 500+ mb memory....

Final update for now.. and i'll try and remember to post back.. (especially if i have the issue again)... I'm really hoping this maybe helps someone else out in similar situation.. Especially in a hyper-v or virtual environment. Okay i think i may have had a memory allocation problem.. maybe.. dynam...

I looked at my clamd.config file.. TCPSocket 3310 MaxThreads 2 max threads is only 2.. possibly this crashed it.. ? i suppose i should bump that up if i'm running 8 delivery threads? or higher? whats everyone else running for clamd.config file how many threads? i bumped it up to max 8 threads.. and...

I looked at my clamd.config file..

TCPSocket 3310
MaxThreads 2

max threads is only 2.. possibly this crashed it.. ? i suppose i should bump that up if i'm running 8 delivery threads? or higher?

whats everyone else running for clamd.config file how many threads?

I was able to work on this a little more today.. i'm using clamd (not clamav sorry for confusion) with clamwin updates.. I'm getting this error after a few weeks .. i can see in the clamd log.. i get this near the bottom.. here is a snip of it.. ... SelfCheck: Database status OK. ERROR: pthread_crea...

https://www.hmailserver.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=26829 Just for reference i believe i used this post.. (may have been another post) above to setup clamav.. originally i had set it up a differn't way..and it wasn't stable only lasted a day.. and didn't like the way it did updates.. Now i'm usin...

Okay guys i just wanted to post an update to this for now.. I'm still going to check back in next time it stop executing deliverytask (sending out message from queue).. I've been examining the logs more closely.. and i think i figured out whats wrong.. I should be seeing this with clamav.. and clama...

I'm have the same problem from this post.. but doesn't look to be the same cause:

Sorry i can't help with much of that, but you could try this for alerts. https://www.hmailserver.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=33645 It checks telnet for connectivity.

Hello - Love hmailserver.. longtime user of it. I started to have issues though back in 2014 or 2015 probably.. before that it was extremely stable..

I'll have to look at the code to see what would cause that. What database are you using? Based on OP's responses it sounded like it fixed the issue since the character was changed but hadn't heard back with confirmation. Bill mysql 5.5.29 Thx. I checked the 5.3 to 5.4 update script. It does: update...
