I wonder if I could get a clarification of the following message from
the -users mailing list? Nigel seems to be saying that telling clamav-milter
to use clamd via --external doesn't use IPC and is faster than using
the milter's built-in scanner. I would guess the reverse to be true.

It's more secure, uses less memory and doesn't use IPC so it's faster.
By the way I tried using --external as suggested and it did not
fix the false-negative problems I've been seeing since 01may.
I'm still getting about 5000 messages per day that clamav-milter
says are clean but that clamscan correctly says have Bagz.something.
