Yes, but I found this question quite important and "Seems like it" is not
satisfactory answer. Customers may (and already did) send us notices about
unsafe pages in our hosting (shit happens, while clamav works good for
rejecting infected files, it doesnt for .htaccess containing Rewrite*), and
I'd like such mail _not_ to be blocked by clamav...

I'm also surprised that safebrowsing is an option only for freshclam. Some
people reported running two instances of clamav, one with
"PhishingSignatures off" for SMTP-level filtering, one with "on" for spam
filter. Seems this won't be possible with safebrowsing database...
