That means you are scanning each message 3 times with the same scanner! 
That's silly. Just set it to Virus Scanners = clamd. The MailScanner 
- --lint output confirms that your clamd settings are probably right, as 
it can talk to the daemon. So just set Virus Scanners = clamd and you'll 
be okay.
