What are guys using out there to rotate clamd log file?
I am running the latest snapshot (as always) but kinda I am stuck
with this subject.

On FreeBSD, I use /etc/newsyslog to specify how my log files are rotated.
However, when I tell newsyslog to give a -1 signal to clamd when the
file is being rotated, clamd dies 'kabisa'! (completely) ;-) [heehee, some
native African language for you].

And when I tell clamd that LogFileMaxSize is, say, 5MB then it stops
logging when that is hit, and at this time the MTA is still running. So
I end up not being able to get correct stats for the virii intercepted.
I'll appreciate advise on this.

BTW, has anyone set LogFileMaxSize 0 and seen what happens? A good number
of times I have seen the log file grow to GB ;-). Well, I was using
Verbose logging then. It fills the filesystem in no time. Perhaps the
logging facility can be changed to have different levels for Verbose??
I wonder what it will do with debug turned on. This is just my experience.

Clamav is doing a great job however!!
