Thats exactly the reason for my suggestion.
As I don't trust these sansecurity definitions completely, I would
like to give them a lower score, so that they are not blocked, but
marked as spam. If it would possible to implement this feature without
hazzle, it would be great to have it....

D> The idea is that there are additional clamd definitions one can use to
D> scan for spam such as the MSRBL definitions ( http://www.msrbl.com/site/
D> ) and the SaneSecurity definitions ( 
D> http://www.sanesecurity.co.uk/clamav/ ) that have been discussed here 
D> earlier.

D> These definitions allow one to use clamd to scan for spam in a 
D> definitions-based manner. They pick up spam (pharm, oem, etc), scams 
D> (lotto, 419, phishing, job offer, loan, mortgage), image spam, pdf spam,
D> and various others. They are highly effective and carry very little risk
D> of false-positives due to the strict definition-based nature of the 
D> detection.

D> Here are a few log snippets to show what I mean:

D> Jul-29-07 17:09:04 [VIRUS] ... virus detected
D> 'Email.Img.Gen115.Sanesecurity.07061400'
D> Jul-29-07 18:15:50 [VIRUS] ... virus detected
D> 'Html.Phishing.Bank.Rockv2Gen49.Sanesecurity.07072700'
D> Jul-30-07 16:42:01 [VIRUS] ... virus detected
D> 'Html.Loan.Gen102.Sanesecurity.07072600'
D> Jul-30-07 13:51:44 [VIRUS] ... virus detected
D> 'Email.Malware.Sanesecurity.07070300'
D> Jul-28-07 13:47:00 [VIRUS] ... virus detected
D> 'Email.Stk.Gen592.Sanesecurity.07071801.pdf'
D> Jul-28-07 17:05:10 [VIRUS] ... virus detected
D> 'Email.Spam.Gen275.Sanesecurity.07030600'
D> Jul-29-07 04:42:04 [VIRUS] ... virus detected 'MSRBL-SPAM.Meds.2336'
D> Jul-29-07 13:04:49 [VIRUS] ... virus detected
D> 'Html.Phishing.Auction.Gen011.Sanesecurity.06020103'

D> And regular viruses look like this

D> Jul-25-07 03:39:47 ... Trojan.Downloader-11827

D> I'm actually having a really hard time finding actual viruses in my 
D> logs. Looking through my logs, I find that the spam caught by clamd far
D> far outweighs the real viruses caught by clamd. Numbers like 1000:1 come
D> to mind.

D> The use of virus scoring with regexes would allow one to score the 
D> email/html "viruses" differently from the 
D> trojan/worm/flooder/backdoor/etc real viruses. Perhaps even coming to 
D> the point of scoring "Email.Img" differently from "Html.Phishing". It's
D> all the same to me, though. I'm fine with a virus hit being blocked 
D> outright because the definitions are rather fool-proof and so far have
D> not resulted in any false positives for me.

D> I hope that covered everything.
