That's not good to hear.... mind telling us more about your setup, like
what flags you pass to clamav-milter and any changes you made to your
.conf files?  Sounds like you're scanning outgoing mail, or are you
sending stuff to your own users?  Using rate-limiting options would
probably save you here... specifically it sounds like the --dont-wait
option to clamav-milter would save your arse.

Please report back if you find a fix, but I'm betting on the --dont-wait
