I have used "clamsmtp". In fact, I was inspirational in discovering the
configuration problems with it while employing TLS in Postfix.

The problem is that 'clamsmtp' bogs down under load. It was causing a
great many messages to get hung up in the queue when under heavy load. I
finally aborted it.

BTW, I now have clamav-milter working, but only for out going messages.
I am tryng to discover what the problem with it is now.
