Assumpte: [exim] Exiscan Clam scan directory filling up
I'm running exim-4.34/exiscan on solaris 9 with clamav-0.75.

This morning, our ldap server died. I have exim using pam for local
deliveries, so deliveries failed for a while until I stopped exim.
Thoughts of changing the config to use ldap directly so a temporary error
would be given if our ldap server ever goes down have crossed my mind, but
that's a different issue...

Sometime during all this fun, my /var/spool/exim/scan directory filled up
with 3.7 GB of data. There appear to around 85 directory entries named
after message IDs, each containing one file ending in '.eml' and several
additional files ending in with a '.com' extension.

None of the directory names show up when displaying the mailq, and forcing
delivery of the name of one of the directories doesn't clear the directory
out, nor enter anything in my logs.

I'm a little lost at the moment - any suggestions?
