Hi!  :-D

We use clamd and clamav-milter 0.80 on a Dell PowerEdge 1650 with 2G of RAM.  
We recieve about 200,000-250,000 emails a day and after a period of 30 mins to 
4 hours, clamav-milter just quits.

I thought that it could be a process limit issue, because our sendmail 
processes peak out at around 900 at the time this is going on.  However, all I 
have to do is stop and restart clamd and clamav-milter and things are fine 
again.  We are running WhiteBox EL Linux 3....and sendmail-8.12.11-4.RHEL3.1

Does anyone have a clue to this issue?

Thanks,
Doug

Here are the sections of the clamd.conf file that are not defaults
FixStaleSocket
TCPSocket 3310
TCPAddr 127.0.0.1
MaxConnectionQueueLength 60
StreamMaxLength 15M
MaxThreads 300
ReadTimeout 300
IdleTimeout 60

These are the /etc/sysconfig/clamav-milter settings
CLAMAV_FLAGS="  --max-children=290 \
                --quiet \
                --advisory \
                --dont-log-clean \
                --server=localhost \
                --pidfile=/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.pid \
                local:/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.sock \
