Don't call us, we'll call you.

Marketing emails are spam unless explicitly requested.

I use MailScanner with ClamAV and by default it catches Iframes. I've left
it on but the only emails that it has appeared to catch seem to be
quasi-legitimate marketing emails. Can't be too important though since no
clients have complained. I would think that scanning for iframes would be
better left to something like MailScanner or Amavis rather than Clam.
