Odd Clam/MS Problem

Nope, just Julian's default clam/sa install.  It's happened with
mailscanner.conf set to clam and clamavmodule.

I'd guess it's a timeout issue, but I'm real concerned that if that's
the case the default behavior is to start calling everything a virus
since those are sumarily tossed.

Are you running any other virus scanners? I had something like this
happen on a MS system that was using antivir, Removed the use of it in
the conf file and away we went working fine. Of course YMMV.
