Hi

This is a fairly fresh install of sme server V-8. Every time I allow a software update there is a problem with clam av, lots of
emails telling me that clam av failed... I have followed two 'how to' (so far) examples to resolve the problem both which worked, until the next software update. The latest message is asking for a software patch for clam av...anyone have any ideas...confused. Should I just wait for the release of 8.1 and do a software upgrade from a dvd - would that correct the clam av problem?

Hi Stefano

Defining...My old server was over 12 years old and starting to give hardware problems, so I bought a new one and Installed SME v8 and then configured to suit my setup. rebooting was fine, no problems. The first software update started with Clam av sending emails every hour. Searched forums for a solution and found a how to with various methods to resolve the problem. I followed method 2 (http://wiki.contribs.org/Clamav:freshclam_update) which worked - until the next software update, where I started receiving the emails again. So applied method two again, emails stopped. The last software update (which looks like it may have 8.1 updates included) started the clam av emails again. Is this a problem with Clam av, the way software updates are applied to v8, or something else. Looking at the log file I cannot find anything to suggest a problem - hence my confusion. Why does it happen after each software update.

Cheers...
