1) freshclam, run as a daemon, crashes without sending a notify. freshclam appears to die anytime it finds a problem with a database update instead of just reporting the error and keep on running to try again later.
Run freshclam from crontab, works like a charm. No daemon that can die.
2) "something" is causing clamd to die. this just started Monday.
the only indication of a problem is that mimedefang starts reporting all sorts of strange errors.
in mimedefang, we are using clamdscan instead of clamd directly, as it appears to catch some problems
that are missed when running clamd directly under the control of mimedefang (which I view as a mimedefang problem, not a clamav problem).
Use MailScanner, it scans files in batches with clamscan so no performance loss. No daemon that can die.
