I did the exiscan direct to ClamAV and then SpamAssassin. This is to reduce
load on the server, since I perform it is part of the SMTP Data ACL. Virus
email is rejected before the call to SpamAssassin. Since SpamAssassin will
run all rules which apply, even if the spam score has been passed, I would
end up running spam filtering rules against viral email.

Subject: [exim] which approach for: exiscan, clamav & spamassassin ?
hi all,
i'm moving to use of exiscan for spamassassin & clamav integration ...
i also understand that spamassassin ALSO provides an access/use method for
clamav -- a plugin:
<http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/ClamAVPlugin>
so my question is:
what are the issues/considerations choosing between:
(1) exiscan using spamassassin & clamav each directly ...
|---- spamassassin
exiscan ---|
|---- clamav
and
(2) exiscan using spamassassin directly, with spamassassin using clamav
indirectly
exiscan ----|---- spamassassin ----|---- clamav
the comments/thread on the SA site are rather dated, and i'm just wondering
how
use/opinions have evolved ...
thx for any insights!
cheers,
richard
