This morning I woke up and there were a bunch of clamav-milter
processies and mail was being rejected:
36769 clamav /usr/local/sbin/clamav-milter --pidfile /var/run/clamav/c
37940 clamav /usr/local/sbin/clamav-milter --pidfile /var/run/clamav/c
38180 clamav /usr/local/sbin/clamav-milter --pidfile
Of all the packages I install (Fedora), clamav is the only modern
package that fails to install and just work.

trust them to create a product that works, and about which I need to
know nothing of the inner workings.

For some reason, I have seen more often than I care to think, multiple cron
jobs firing off freshclam and then not hanging up.
