You should not do that, here are two reasons: Firstly, there is a long delay between the moment when a maintainer do an update and the receive of the mail in clamav-virusdb. Often 2 or 3 hours. Sourceforge mailing lists are actually posting messages 2 hours after posting. Maintainer has also to make the announcement and complete the processing of the samples after the update. This can sometime take 1 hour. Secondly, you could have a problem receiving mails, Sourceforge could have difficulties, or we could forget to post the notification. Last point never happened, but who knows ...
