[vPostMaster] Odd Error - FollowUp

I did not get any bad exit status errors in the last 24 hours, I did get:

   /usr/lib/vpostmaster/postfix/vpm-pfpolicy: process id 28791: command
time limit exceeded : 2 Time(s)

I'm beginning to think this is nothing to worry about, perhaps just a
"busy machine" situation.

It's an older box (dual 400Mhz. Xeons). I have noticed that clamscan
pushes the load on one CPU close to 100%, and when two instances are
running they both get pretty busy.

I suppose I could look into nicing the clamscan process a bit, or
increasing the timeout on the vpm-pfpolicy, but everything seems to be
working fine so I'll probably just ignore it for now.

It really is amazing how much spam greylisting stops, I wonder how long
until the spammers figure that one out :-)
