I don't know what the percentage is, but it is ALOT higher than 1% here.  I 
would guess that its closer to 50 or 60% - It's so rediculous, I was 
actually thinking of having a stand alone clamav server and then mailertable 
the good emails to the mimedefang server.  Except, I'm not sure if I can 
call clamav before mailertable kicks in.

Yes, this is exactly why I wanted to have mimedefang make a second call to 
clamav once it passes clamav the first time.
