Ok, so instead of:
sendmail -> clamav-milter -> clamd
You propose:
sendmail -> amavis-milter -> clamscan
There's no advantage to amavis in this case, and it's actually worse if
it's using clamscan since it has to load the virus database everytime.
I don't know how to configure amavis to *NOT* be run at SMTP phase.

A friend of mine was at the military and had to check new recruits for
color-blindness. Only after the 20th color-blind man in a row he realized
for the first time in hist life that it was _him_, being the color-blind.
