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.
