2 fold question

[Remco Barendse]

What a pity, before i wouldn't care about how much memory any given app 
would use, now that i have virtualized everything, it starts to matter :))

There are some people still working on MailScanner (believe they moved the 
sources to github) but have never seen a new release. Maybe the way 
forward would be to fork the code, supposedly there are some fixes in 
github that would also resolve the problem of the huge pileup of tmp 
files.

Thanks for explaining the differences between the 3 different ways of 
calling clamav!
