I was worried there for a second, until I realized that I don't use
clam-milter.  I instead run clamav via the socket from mimedefang, which
is a better way to go anyway.

In fairness, you should always set up your own freshclam stuff anyway so
as to spread the updates out.  I use dag packages but I set crontab to a
pseudo-random minute (pick a number) every hour run freshclam.  I am
using dag's packages on 3 servers and each hour I get the latest update.

Definitely don't run it blindly.  I use clamav with mimedefang (all from
dag's packages) and have things set up and running without any
problems..
