Amavis is pretty good, block inbound .pif’s/exe’s etc and instead of miltering/scanning everything and hang clamav from that to scan the remainder of files you do allow through.

We have no issues with clamav in such a setup (lenny).

The same problem has been reported by several users of the SaneSecurity signatures (check the list archives: http://www.freelists.org/archives/sanesecurity).
Up to now the ClamAV developers were not able to reproduce the crash, but a bug report has been opened: https://wwws.clamav.net/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1370

I have that problem with clamav, but it dissapeared using volatile’s version for clamav, and not just for clamav-data
