Hello all,
We just encountered several serious Out of Memory Problems caused by the
file 4.17-9.0.1.EL5 utility on our mail Gateway. CentOS 5.1 kept it self
alive by killing it parent process Amavisd-new. Manually restarting
Amavisd-new and flushing the mail queue caused same problem. Disabling file
for the moment, caused Amavisd-new to fail, and also defer all mail.
My quick and dirty solution was the download the Fedora Core 9's
file.4.23-5.src.rpm. and rebuild it on CentOS 5 After upgrading file,
restarting Amavisd-new and flushing the Postfix queue, all mail was
delivered without problems.
Because our mail system went down, it didn't have the time to trace the
message causing the problem.
But I want to share here that the Redhat / CentOS EL5 file utility has
problems and provide a quick workaround for the problem.
Regards,
John
