It hasn't always been this bad, and it may just be a temporary thing, but it
has been going on now for about a month. It's only a few user accounts that
these emails are going to so the other thing I could do is re-assign new
email addresses and just bounce the old accounts. It might be worth the
overhead to sendmail rather than the overhead of clamav and discard.

I find that clamav is less overhead than mimedefang. If I can call clamav
first, before mimedefang and discard any emails be it gets to mimedefang, I
think i will see a savings on the proc.
