Help! AVAST is self-spamming the sbs server
« on: August 02, 2007, 10:31:58 AM »
Since yesterday night AVAST is spamming my SBS server 2003 with alert and warning notification, but the e-mail notification is disabled.

The alert and warning are about e-mail not checked :
[SERVERSBS]: AAVM - scanning error: x_AavmCheckFileDirectEx: avfilesScanReal of xxxxxxxx/Posta in arrivo/avast! Error-8350.EML/<BodyPart> failed, 0000A413.
----------------
the number of emails is about 20.000 every our,
----------------
I restarted AVAST, restared the server, I checked the email notification both in Exchange provider and MS-SMTP provider.

What other I can do?

1. You obviously have enabled sending of avast logs via email. You can disable this using the Server Deployment Wizard (can be run from the avast group in Start menu).

2. It is quite worrying that you're getting the A413 error ("internal program error") for each object scanned. You said you already tried restarting the avast service, and it didn't help? What version of virus database do you have - the latest?

I use the last version and avast update itself automatically.

Now I have stopped the webmaster mailbox account, I'll try to run the server deployment wizard and later I'll reactivate the webmaster mailbox.

I let's you know.
tnx

Did you disable the sending of the logs in the Server Deployment Wiz?
