    Hi

    I do not know the ispconfig version as the server is down. It has been crashing for the last few days with "out of memory" (I assume processor memory) in the server log.

    It starts ok for a while 1-2 hours.

    This has all happened since using as an email server.

    I have recently clicked anitivirus and anti spam.

    I will post the version when I get it up again.

    More Info

    Hi

    ISPCONF 2.2.14

    Server Error log:

    Jul 14 19:28:41 mail1 kernel: oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x201d2, order=0 Jul 14 19:28:54 mail1 kernel: [<c014457b>] out_of_memory+0x25/0x13e Jul 14 19:29:26 mail1 kernel: [<c01459e8>] __alloc_pages+0x1f5/0x275 Jul 14 19:35:02 mail1 syslogd 1.4.1#18: restart.

    Main Memory 512MB swap 2GB

    To keep the server up I have removed anti-smap and anti-virus from the email accounts

    Email Domains

    Hi

    I have about 4 domains and upto 12 emails on each. I have just been through them all and taken off spam and virus detection.

    The disc space is small, but clamscan is runninga lot of the time.

    Solution

    Hi

    I have found that I have been running imapsync jobs on a cron.

    Things got a lot better when I removed the cron jobs.
