Hi All,
I have had a problem occur twice on a Linux (Cobalt RaQ3) gateway for a MS Exchange 
Server (Our internal Mail server) and wondered if anyone has experienced something 
similar.  Firstly the details:
Clamav-0.70-rc1 with clamav-milter from that package.
Sendmail 8.12.10
Spamassassin 2.55 with spamass-milter 0.1.3a

Everything goes along fine for a few days and then stuff like this all of a sudden 
appears in the logs.

All mail is rejected, incoming and outgoing from the Exchange server.  Restarting 
clamd gets things going again as far as incoming is concerned.  The Exchange SMTP 
Connector (don't ask me, you no Microsoft) has to be forced to reconnect and send the 
queued messages.  Then things work fine again.  This has only happened twice, but it 
is of concern.
We used to have a problem with the Exchange Connector holding the Sendmail port open 
so nothing else could connect.  Had to restart sendmail.  Trying to figure out if a 
patch or something else fixed it.  This appears to be a similar problem, only now it 
has frees up the sendmail port to accept more connections and spawn new sendmails, but 
the milter interface appears to tie up clamd.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, except for the one to ditch Exchange.  Not my 
choice, but I have to live with it.
Regards
