Hi,

As the new maintainer for clamsmtpd, I started to look at (my own)
pkg/36292. I'm running now the following patch on my servers and all
problems are gone.

Any objection for this change? Is it okay to use expr?

PS. On my secondary MX host it takes over 40 seconds for clamd to start.
     This is a 2.8 GHz P4 with 2 GB RAM and only DNS and SMTP services
     running...

Martti
