Just moved from clamav to clamavmodule for scanning mail ... in a few 
days I will see if it catches all the viruses ...

Before the batch time was 100+ seconds, now its 6+ seconds ...... maybe 
also a restart of the server would have been a good idea before trying 
to make the change ... but because its so far away, I would not do that 
before i'm at the location again ... just a little personal testing 
server ...

Running:
FreeBSD 6.2
MailScanner-4.60.8_2
clamav-0.90.3
p5-Mail-ClamAV-0.20
