It looks like it's working now. It have probably passed a couple of 1000
mails and no mails hanging in hold now...
I have put clamav before panda and have mailwatch disabled.
Will try to enable mailwatch now and see if it still works out.
If, then the problem is Panda in some way..

Do you get anything more interresting if you run it through with just
one of the av-scanners?
Or if you run it in debug mode?
