Which is more efficient, running clamav-milter to call clamd (i.e., using --external) or letting clamav-milter do all the work? Does it make any difference? I'm running it on several MX servers, each handling about 3,000 messages/day. (Sendmail, clam, spamassassin on Fedora 5 or RHEL 4, 1GB memory, dual Xeon processors.)
Calling something which uses clamd is likely to be more efficient, however, your mail load is light enough that it won't matter much either way. You can push around 100K messages per day through a low-end Pentium-2 grade box with 256MB of RAM using amavisd + clamav + SpamA without any special tuning-- so your hardware can handle a lot more load....
