Is your version of SA recent enought?

Even if it may pick-up some spam, clamav, official or not, firstly
target viruses, not spam. Don't blame it for not doing what it is not
supposed to do.

Greylisting is definitely a very powerful tool if you (and your users)
accept that a mail may take one hour to be delivered (which is nothing
unexepected given the way SMTP protocol is designed).

Greylisting must be installed at the MTA (exim) level, to refuse the
mail when the other end tries to connect first. But as I use postfix, i
am not sure how it is being done with exim.

Best regards,

Olivier
