Okay, thanks. Hopefully this is right, with 'envelope_from' & 'from' set to my gmail address, and 'sender' set to the local address. > as far as i can tell, there is no way to set the nice level other than > modifying the init script (/etc/init.d/clamav-daemon) to set it when > it gets called.

I didn't think it worked like that. Before finding the solution, I tried renicing the clamd process manually and it does seem to make a difference (I watched glxgears and top while the mail was processed).
