It's a great idea to have clamav-milter do it's own thing. BUT, what is its relationship with freshclam? In the clamav-milter -> clamd, you could be assured that clamd would always be aware of updates installed by freshclam. How does this work in the all milter, all the time, world?
There is a thread within clamav-milter which wakes up from time to time and reloads the database when freshclam has been run.
How often does it wake up? Given that most of us now run freshclam every 15 minutes (taking advantage of DNS, of course) it seems it'd have to be a fairly frequent check.
