    I have VPS with 384MB of RAM and running Debian Lenny on it. I followed perfect server howto for ISPConfig 3.0.3 and ended up on following error. Everything else looks like working just fine but I can't sent or receive any email. I did find this error on ClamAV start:

    Code:
    mail:/home/jari# /etc/init.d/clamav-daemon restart
    Stopping ClamAV daemon: clamd.

    Do I need to get more RAM on my VPS or is there something else I can do?

    Thanks for the link. So my VPS provider has next RAM option 512MB so what you think should that be enough to run also clamav? This server will have less that ten email accounts and only few domains and websites with quite low traffic. Maybe about 10-20GB/year.

    It could work for ten email accounts, but you have to try.

    I upgraded to 512MB and so far everything is up and running. Thanks again.
