Topic: freshclam issues for the last 4-5 days

I see. Can I ask what does db.local.clamav.net resolve to?

re read my previous post, it's all there

My error mate, sorry.

These issues happen from time to time and I have tried (during these periods) to alter Mirror to all kinds of places with little luck. I all previous cases the problem goes away on its own after 6-8 hours when mirrors are sync'ed correctly.

I have actually also made my own local mirror (as I have quite a few servers) to try to resolve this - based on this: https://www.clamav.net/documents/private-local-mirrors.

I am aware of these ups and downs, but this time this seems like a bigger problem is in the works. I've managed partially to obtain at least some updates to pass through, ie I receive less than 15 freshclam failures daily, by using the gr mirror. However, this is in stark contrast to the stability I have had: less than one failure in 3-6 months...

As for a local mirror: I have a single SME server running, helping a couple of admins on their own systems. So I'd like to avoid the overhead of maintaining another critical infrastructure component.

All in all, it's not a big problem since I am unable to use the unofficial ClamAV updates that would improve detection a lot, so the clients' AV does all the work here.
