clamavmodule

[Julian Field]

What does your maillog show?

If freshclam is running, that may cause no mail to go through as the 
virus scanner autoupdate process locks out each scanner while it is 
being updated, to avoid race conditions.

Is mail going through and not being scanner? Or is no mail getting 
through at all?
