usually it is caused by server with small ram, eq 512mb, but you have lot of email transaction

[Sandeep]

you need 2 gb ram and above for normal operation

I have 8 GB RAM

[Sandeep]

I am a rookie and I have installed a new panel. The latter is what I did to create domains and mailboxes ... I made it through user panel...

try to uninstall ClamAV whith yum :

Code Select Expand

yum remove clamav -y
and after
Rebuild your mail server with ClamAV (AntiSpam and AntiVirus Protection)
from yourdomain.com:2030 Email -> Postfix Mail Server Manager section.
at me it's works....

... and ClamAV stopped working and can not be started...

[Administrator]

you should check the permissions of your log folder /var/log/clamav

if owner is clam then replace it with clamav or reverse if different.
example

Code Select Expand

chown -R clamav.clamav /var/log/clamav

where to put this code?
