Our server (NetBSD/amd64 4.0_BETA2) is a 2.33 GHz dual-core Intel Xeon with 4 GB 
RAM and disks connected to a hardware RAID controller so it should be fast 
enough for this kind of stuff. Yesterday I saw clamd taking it nice-and-slow, it 
took almost 7 minutes(!) until the /tmp/clamd socket appeared. "DNS", you might 
say... No, name resolution was working just fine.

So, my conclusion is that having a long default is better than having a system 
which might not have a working SMTP setup after reboot. Feel free to use a 
smaller/larger value in /etc/rc.conf.
