This is a problem with MTA (postfix+antivirus) in a whole.  Imagine
that someone sends *alot* of mails to your box (just like happened
with a loop) -- it will crash just the same way.   Interesting --
who was crashed?  Did you lower maxproc for avcheck in master.cf?
I saw a very overloaded my mailserver when I forgot to do so and
AvpDaemon was unable to handle more than 45 concurrent scan processes
(well, my machine was not able to handle that, avp was "fine" but
slooooow, and other processes also -- i486DX4/100, 128Mb).

Russian text is an exampe -- you can either remove it or replace
with German (do not forget to set appropriate charset= there too).
Antivirus-Daemon is header from address, envelope is always empty
(i.e. mailer-daemon).  Again, this From line is a value of
$FROM variable inside a script, so configurable).  (BTW, @host.tld
was added by postfix).

A typo: from main.cf (global) to master.cf entry for smtpd...
