Hello Jesse, I am affraid you are NOT the only person who is experiancing this kind of problems. We are a Dutch internetprovider using Clamav as virusscanner for our mailplatform using clamavmilter / sendmail. One or two times a day clamav hangs. We have tried to use network and file sockets: does not make any difference. When the load is high, clamd hangs more than under normal load. On an other platform with 2 loadbalanced fast intel machines, we have no troubles.
If clamd hangs, we only have left 2 clamd processes and 1 milter process.
