Topic: ClamAV is blocking e-mail over approx. 12 MB

[Vendelbo]

Hi all,

When I enable the ClamAV from sme.swerts-knudsen.dk all e-mails sent over 12 MB are getting blocked.

Does anybody know why - and maybe what I can do. I'm not an experiensed linux user, which also was the reason I chose the SME server...


Hope you can help...

hello,

It's an option in /etc/clamav.conf file
ArchiveMaxFileSize

regards.

Hi,

Is that really the solution ?
In /etc/clamd.conf it reads the following:

# 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 if I understand this correctly this shouldn't be the reason large e-mails get blocked ?

I am asking because I need to be able to receive much larger e-mails. Haven't tried yet, but I started searching and stumbled upon this thread.

So:

1. Is the size of e-mails limited by some configuration ?
2. If so, where ?

Garfield is right about this matter.

The file you need to configure is:

/etc/amavis-ng/amavis.conf

Hi,

Do you mean this setting:

maxspace = 30M

as it appears in my /etc/amavis-ng/amavis.conf ?

yep... Had the same issue - raised it and problem solved... has to do with unpacking the email.
