I don't see any spamc running on a 'normal' server. There is a perl running
spamd as root, and two spamd children running as vpopmail.
I don't know if/when spamc comes in to play with the toaster. What toaster
version are you running?
Since the user is clamav, it's a good guess that it's coming from simscan,
but not necessarily.
Someone else here probably (I hope) knows more than me about how this part
works.

They are running spamc with the user clamav - this leads me to believe
that they are run from within simscan.

I certainly agree. I've only seen them once and a while on a sick
toaster.
Once your've killed them (with qmail stopped, I presume), do the they
reappear? What program are the zombies running?

That may be so, but I wonder if this does not indicate something
"wrong". It's akin to when you see svstat times of 1 second. You
know that the multilog is not running, or something else is wrong
with the parent process. I can live with it, but I would like it to
be optimal if I could.

I am noticing that I get a fair number of processes with owner
clamav and spamc [defunct]. They do not appear to harm mail
delivery, but I wanted to see if I was missing something like some
log directory or other thing. I assume this comes from simscan.
Anyone run into this issue? A happy machine has no zombie
processes...

I've seen these on occasion too. I've simply killed them.
