If you want to run ClamAV as the defang user (or any user other than root),
make sure you fix the SpamAssassin bug that destroys the umask and makes
files unreadable.

See
http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/pipermail/mimedefang/2004-August/023710.html
for a patch.  See earlier messages in that thread for a discussion of the
actual bug.

This bug exists in all versions of SpamAssassin, up to and including the
most recent 2.64 release.  3.0 is apparently fixed.
