I'm going to butt my nose in where it doesn't belong and insert my opinion here. :)

Here's the setup we run, and it works incredibly well.

Sendmail
mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin
mail/spamass-milter
mail/spamass-rules
mail/spamass-rules_du_jour
sysutils/clamav (built with miltering)

Add to your .mc file:
INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`clmilter',`S=local:/var/run/clamav/clmilter.sock, F=, T=S:4m;R:4m')
INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`spamassassin', `S=local:/var/run/spamass-milter.sock, F=, T=C:15m;S:4m;R:4m;E:10m')


crontab nightly
/usr/local/bin/rules_du_jour

Make sure your ports tree is cron'ed to update regularly, have the freshclam daemon running, and I'd strong suggest subscribing to the RSS feed at http://www.freshports.org/sysutils/clamav

Just my 2 cents. ;)

Would I want to enable milter with clamav?

Depending on your needs, maybe. The clamav-milter lets sendmail reject mail containing viruses immediately, rather than having to receive them and then filter them later.


You should also investigate greylisting, which has very little downside and is the most effective antispam measure I've seen yet.

Here's something I wrote on that a while back. It needs to be updated, but it should give an idea:

The default delay introduced by milter-greylist is 30 minutes. From what I've seen in log files, this could probably be reduced to even five minutes and still be effective. Most spamware and viruses don't retry even once.
