Yes, the clamd process quit, so the milter process was rejecting all
incoming mail with a 4xx try again reply.

In each case the last thing logged to clamav.log before I restarted
clamd was just a

    Reading databases from /var/lib/clamav

line.

So it looks like it died during a reload, since:

    Database correctly reloaded

did not get logged.

I removed the clamav-milter call to keep mail flowing; I'll turn it back
on on one of them this weekend.

Again there nothing was logged to clamd.log.
