Fyi, i was wrong about the ClamAV scan, it must obviously be happening 
after greylisting and the mail is accepted.  I'm only getting a few hits 
of it on my server luckily and ClamAV is only filtering a few out a 
day..  However, if you can add a check for valid user in there at 
connection time before greylisting that can help the load significantly 
as well..   Thanks for the DB research Wayne!

Regards,
Scot
