Well, basic file type blocking may help in blocking executable files, 
scripts etc. But can have undesirable side effects (.exe zipfiles will 
be blocked for example). I have it turned on though since I believe 
executable files don't belong in an attachment (unless zipped or 
something). Since virus emails look a lot like spam they'll be filtered 
out by the usual spam filters.

Redundancy is a good thing, but not in all cases, and in the case of 
email filtering I don't believe in that. The more links in the chain you 
add the higher the chance one link fails and email delivery is affected. 
Plus you will also increase the chance of false positives. Not saying 
that using clamav is bad or anything, just arguing about "can't have too 
many AV scanners".
