I wonder if I could get a clarification of the following message from
the -users mailing list? Nigel seems to be saying that telling clamav-milter
to use clamd via --external doesn't use IPC and is faster than using
the milter's built-in scanner. I would guess the reverse to be true.

It's more secure, uses less memory and doesn't use IPC so it's faster.
I'm about to try turning --external back on to see if it fixes my problem
with clamav-milter calling messages clean while clamscan says the same
messages contain Bagz.something. So I was curious about this.
