First, you should not use clamscan, you should use the direct clamd
socket connection to speed up scanning.

And I can tell you that mimedefang is much more stable on FreeBSD
than the clamav-milter, because clamav-milter had severe bugs
(no locking for getnamebyhost(), hosts_access()) etc ... In the
developer version they might be fixed.
