Thanks Ben. It works but as you mentioned, my CPU utilisation is always not less than 80%. I do not require to check for authenticated sessions as I don't do any authenticated smtp so could you kindly send me the earlier version of your filter that does not have this?
Certainly -- attached.
I suspect that the high load situation is caused by the header-parsing bit looping indefinitely on an EOF condition in some circumstances; I suspect it can be solved by changing the while(1) to while(eof()) on line 63 but I have not verified this yet.
In the mean time here is the simpler version with the auth check rolled back which seems to work reliably.

# ClamAV and etc filter for Courier perlfitler. See the perlfilter-example that # comes with Courier for the comments.
# Installed by BRK on 07 July 2004 from http://karmak.org/2004/courier-clamav/
# BRK also altered return status from 500 to 577 which seems more consistent
with rfc1893.
# 05 Nov 2004: BRK modified to first scan the incoming message and reject if
# there is no From: header provided. Seems there are spammy things getting
through
# with no header, so by virtue of maildrop etc. it ends up misleadingly with the
# recipient user's own address.
# 13 Dec 2004: BRK modified again to also call spamc and check for an egregious
spam score
# following a successful virus check. This is an effort to cull out the most
obvious
# crap before it even gets to the maildrop process.
# 20 Apr 2005: BRK modified; we now check the first Received: header to see
whether the
# message came from an authenticated session. If so, we bypass the virus and
spam checks.
# 27 Apr - rolled back; somehow this is getting stuck and eating lots of cpu.
