Keeping clamav up to date can be fairly important. SA less so.
The easiest thing you can do to tighten spam is to use good RBLs.
The most effective thing you can do to tighten spam is to install spamdyke.
QmailToaster-Plus (http://qtp.qmailtoaster.com) has utilties to help
with both of these things.

I was also reading the logs when the first time I am install QMT
but after a year pass, and I get the big picture how QMT working and no
more tweaking needed,
the server stable enough, I leave it alone, never upgrade the SA,
clamav, and other packages
never check the logs, SA bayes, clamav ext dat
until my boss complain, he said
"it seems now I have more spam, can you please check it"
Now I need to refresh a little bit, by using Jake QMT Video and manual I
made
things do get rusty if you not using them :D

Just curiously Jake, how often do you really find yourself reading
that 1M log file you get every day?
I've been there and found they get auto sorted into a "Logs" folder
only to be deleted (still unread) when Outlook slows down.
Depends on the server. For servers that I run for other clients I at
least scroll down past the HTML log entries and look for "serious
entries" daily. For my non-client servers (like the qmailtoaster.com
server, or other servers that do not directly generate me revenue) I
scan them for major errors about once a week, maybe once every 2
weeks if "things are happening".
This nets me about 30 minutes of log file scanning a day with the
occasional investigation thrown in to make sure there's not a major
issue brewing. That's an average though, including those that I only
look at once a week.
I find that log files go good with the first couple cups of coffee.
