I've already modified some of my settings:
smtpd_max_memory_per_connection = 40            # in megabytes
smtpd_max_connections           = 7
smtpd_max_memory                = 356
qmail_scanner_scanners         = clamdscan,fast_spamassassin

It should be noted I'm running 1.23 of qmail-scanner


Now -- what it seems I've discovered is that -- when I run toaster_setup.pl -s qmail-scanner -- the setup scans for available daemons -- it sees, and lists clamdscan, however it puts clamscan in the @scanner_array and subsequently only includes the clamscan, not the clamdscan subroutines in /var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl

replacing clamdscan in the scanner_array, and adding in the clamdscan subroutine appears to have rectified the situation I was running into -- it now sends the scanning to the external clamd --- no more memory scaling issues, because clamd is not regulated by the memory size settings that we set in toaster_watcher...  hopefully I'll still be saved by the setting which regulates clamd (clamscan too?) -- to not virus scan more than the first 10MB of attachments.
