Last week, I was getting tons of DDOS messages and also receiving this 
message in my logs. I am using an older version of everything as I 
haven't updated recently. I had just switched to clamavmodule on this 
machine. 

Anyway, I'm not totally sure which resolved the problem, but I switched 
back to clamav and started mass blocking (in my access file and 
firewall) the IP ranges that were causing the problem messages. It was 
all related to timeouts, though, and I have a feeling the suggestions 
given in prior posts would solve the problem if you can get the timeout 
long enough to otherwise not cause problems with the delay.

I haven't seen the log messages since.
