Hi,

I was just wondering how much load clamav will generate under constant usage? 
The reason i ask is we updated our mail server to check all mail being 
delivered locally for viruses, and after a couple of hours of operation the 
server froze up and had to be manually rebooted (after 300 days of uptime no 
less :) We receive messages at the rate of about 5-10 a second, so clamd is 
pretty much constantly busy, but doesn't seem to be using much actual cpu 
time.

I'm not entirely sure it was clamd that caused the crash, as we also updated 
spamassassin to run in client server mode so that could have been causing the 
problems too, but i figured i would ask here in case there *were* any known 
issues. Note that spamassassin is showing up as using most of the cpu on the 
box, but we've had spamassassin running for the better part of 6 months 
without a problem so clamd looks to be the most likely culprit.

The machine in question is a dual 1Ghz p3 box with a gig of ram in case it 
makes any difference. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
