We use clamav-unofficial-sigs. If clamd triggers, it's a hard fail for
us, regardless of whether it was a virus or spam rule. We do
differentiate them for logging and SMTP rejection messages.

I can't say how much spam would have been blocked anyway by later
processing (e.g. SpamAssassin), but we have very few (but non-zero over
the years) false positives. And in our filter, whitelisting does not
bypass this test; maybe it should, but that's the current setup.
