Hi,
I have been getting this messages in my warning log for days:

You pretty much should ask this the clamav folks.
I just run freshclam and it went through fine, so it seemed temporary.
No, it's not proof. You have to verify using the exact same server IP I got. My configuration was using "database.clamav.net", which yields a list of hosts: nimrodel:~ # host database.clamav.net database.clamav.net is an alias for db.local.clamav.net. db.local.clamav.net is an alias for db.eu.rr.clamav.net. db.eu.rr.clamav.net has address 195.70.36.141 db.eu.rr.clamav.net has address 213.174.32.130 db.eu.rr.clamav.net has address 217.19.16.188 db.eu.rr.clamav.net has address 62.236.254.228 <====== db.eu.rr.clamav.net has address 80.69.67.43 db.eu.rr.clamav.net has address 85.30.129.18 db.eu.rr.clamav.net has address 85.214.115.224 db.eu.rr.clamav.net has address 147.229.3.16 db.eu.rr.clamav.net has address 193.1.193.64 db.eu.rr.clamav.net has address 193.27.50.222 db.eu.rr.clamav.net has address 194.47.250.218 Interesting... "eu" does work here. >>:-) The thing is that the daemon should be poling any server from the list, but somehow it was trying the same broken server repeatedly. When that server failed the algorithm should try another, but it didn't. That's probably a bug. And another is that the server is/was down, for days. About reporting it upstream... I was just asking for comments here. My issue was solved by restarting and reconfiguring the daemon. And as I don't have any windows machine to protect, I'm not really affected. If the issue repeats, I'll think about it.
