Right. A better option is to have some backup virus scanner such as clamscan
entry in the @av_scanners_backup list, in which case mail would still flow,
but much slower, because clamscan is much more resource hungry than clamd.
This assumes that clamscan would not fall prey to the same cause which
grounded clamd.
