I installed and am using Method 1 from Michael Carmack's ClamAV+courier
notes here: <http://karmak.org/2004/courier-clamav/>  and it seems to be
working great.  Amavis is not required at all, and virus-laden messages
are rejected during the SMTP conversation.

The only change I made was to alter the SMTP error code from 500 to 577
(which seems more consistent with the semantics of rfc 1893).
