There is actually a sample entry that does this... force AV scanning
to pass if all "real" scanners fail. Look near the bottom of the
@av_scanners_backup list for something like:
# always succeeds (uncomment to consider mail clean if all other scanners fail)
# ['always-clean', sub {0}],
Be sure to also uncomment the "ClamAV-clamscan" backup entry so that
the it will have a shot at the mail too.
