I guess so, although I'm not doing this myself.
It can't hurt to put its output to a log file to be able
to investigate past events if need occurs. And if
a need for killing a child process arises more often
than once in a blue moon, it needs to be investigated.

@hourly date >> /var/log/mail/amavisd-nanny.log ; amavisd-nanny -c 1
>/dev/null 2>> /var/log/mail/amavisd-nanny.log

Something like this?

Maybe sounds strange, what for is this? I have done this now, but do not
understand the meaning :)
