clamd is not a stable program yet. Substitute 'clamscan' for 'clamdscan'
in your procmailrc file and you should be just fine. The clamscan
program has slightly more overhead than clamdscan/clamd, but it is
still well within acceptable performance limits.

I don't know if the latest ports version runs freshclam as a daemon or
not (there was talk on the mirrors list that I'm on, but I haven't
heard anything definitive). Either way, make sure your mirrors.txt
file looks like this:

    clamav-sj.securesites.net
    database.clamav.net
    database.clamav.net
    database.clamav.net

(or if you're in the Dulles, Va. datacenter, use 'clamav-du' instead
of 'clamav-sj'). If you see elektrapro or any other mirrors other than
*.securesites.net (this is only for viaVerio customers) or
database.clamav.net, your mirrors file is way out of date and need to
be replaced with the content above.
