Mail issues on all the mail server related to Clamav. For now we have stopped the clamd service on mail server and working to fix this as soon as possible.
 
Just as a quick note, the antivirus update came in, and started marking all mails as having a virus. So in order to prevent this from stopping flows of mail we disabled the AC scans ASAP. Now we are checking, and resetting some parameters on each server and it will be re-enabled once the systems are not making false positives on all mails.
 
Due to recent update on ClamAV database there was some UNOFFICIAL updates came, which were marking the mails as infected and due to which clamAV making FALSE POSITIVE mostly all emails.

We've rectified those UNOFFICIAL SIGNATURES and made them ignored to check by clamAV system. Emails seems to be delivering fine now on all mail servers.
 
These unofficial signatures are addons that generally help to find malware, phishing, and scam mails and have been working better than the core signatures for some months, but seems they have put out and update that was too aggressive so we have to back off on using them for the time being.
