We're currently adding an extra header to spamassassin in case ClamAV
detects a phishing mail. We don't want to reject those phishes as
a virus (because they aren't), but we do want to tag them as possibly
unwanted.

And we don't want to run clamav again as a plugin from within
spamassassin, as clamav is just as big a CPU hog as spamassassin
itself is (at least, the 0.8x versions are).

In the future we might also pass on other information to spamassassin
via extra headers.

But, given the fact that we just switched to using spamd instead of
the builtin Mail::SpamAssassin modules, we don't really need support
builtin to mimedefang at the moment either...
