I peeked a little at clamav milter. I think it can be made more stable
if the reads() and writes() to sockets are done with a timeout set. If
clamd goes mad, it sometimes accepts() a connection, even reads the
command but never responds. If then your socket read or recv call has
no timeout, the milter sits there and waits forever and if mail flows
in at a reasonable speed the number of socket/file descriptors gets
exhausted. A simple setsockopt call can cure this situation. Since we
have that in our milter, we had not a single failure with the
sendmail/smtp-vilter/clamd combination.
