If you want to save on memory usage, just having amavis filter out exe files or exe-like files (screensavers, exes in archives, etc.) is much more efficient than using clamav. Of course this doesn't filter out Office macros/OLE, but there's a plugin in SA related to that, I believe.

    after it has sucked it completly


Just looked at clamav's memory usage. Ouch. :)
