Hey.. I just starting getting these errors since midnight last night. 
I've restarted clamd and mimedefang so hopefully that will resolve it. 
Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? The only thing I've done
recently is remove the memory settings in the startup script for
mimedefang cause i was ocacsitionally getting the out of memory error from
mimedefang.  But reading this it looks like there was an error talking to
the mimedefang pipe.  Emails would hang for several minutes at a time or
indefinitely.
