This is tied together using amavisd-new.
I don't know if this might be pertinent. For a while on one Solaris 10 (x86) box the load has been fine. Just recently the following change was made to amavisd-new: @keep_decoded_original_maps = (new_RE( qr'^MAIL$', # retain full original message for virus checking (can be slow) Just now the clamd process on that box seemed to totally lock up. I had to do a 'kill -9' to get rid of it. Commented out that '^MAIL$' line above and have restarted things. We'll see how that goes.
