But I do want to re-iterate the suggestion that it is disabled by default.
Most installations will probably already have some mechanism to do clamAv
filtering.
And one comment to consider. When doing virus scanning, it is recommended
that it happen during the DATA transmission during an SMTP transaction, so
that a mail server can appropriately reject the contents, without accepting
the transmission. (5xx)
This allows senders to immediately know that they have an infection, and makes
it simpler to diagnosis ('Where did my email go?'), plus many more subtle
side effects.
But, it will make it simpler for the bulk of SA users I am sure.
