Hi there,

I get the following error a few times a day for a while, so I thought I
would look into it.
I am using mimedefang to send mail to clamd and it works fine, but at
random point of the day I get the error:
mimedefang.pl[26234]: xAD8PbeZ009878: Timeout reading from clamd daemon
at /var/spool/MIMEDefang/clamd.sock
Perhaps clamd is reloading its databases when you see this. Depending
on configuration and the host performance it can take anywhere between
a few tens of seconds and several minutes to reload all the databases,
and during that time currently released versions of clamd won't scan.
Check the logs for the reload messages. There's a patch currently in
testing which permits clamd to continue scanning while reloading, the
patch is available if you wish to build clamd yourself, and it should
be available in a released version of clamd quite soon I hope. There
has been some discussion on this list recently if you'd like to look.
