At approximately 4:30pm CST today people with the ever popular antivirus ClamAV installed on their mail servers experienced inability to send and receive emails.
Usually effecting the General Internet (GI) email servers hitting them with outages across the board - clamav kills them!
FROM: Article
all ClamAV releases older than 0.95 are
affected by a bug in freshclam which
prevents incremental updates from
working with signatures longer than 980 bytes.
You can find more details on this issue
on our bugzilla (see bug #1395
Starting from 15 April 2010 our CVD will
contain a special signature which disables
all clamd installations older than 0.95 –
that is to say older than 1 year.
Basically impacted around 3-5% of all mail servers, and 100% of lazy email administrators.
If you need assistance with your email server, we can help.
