Well, yes, of course, but assuming that the poster has
the various ACLs defined then SOME ACLs (e.g., HELO,
MAIL, RECIPIENT, etc) will run first as it would be
normal to run CLAMAV from within the MIME or DATA
ACL -- it's very hard to run it earlier to useful
purpose <grin>

Then within the DATA ACL, for instance, there could
be other ACLs both and after the one that calls ClamAV.
