Re: defer

We only tag a message with the results of spamd and clamd.  That has 
the side-affect of never deferring a message (if spamd or clamd isn't 
running, the messages just don't get filtered).  While that means a 
virus might slip through on rare-occasion, it ensures no legitimate 
email is ever lost, bounced or delayed.

See the exiscan spec for using "warn" statements in your "RCPT TO" ACL 
to add message headers, then create a router or two for checking them 
with a condition.

The latest version of clamd (0.75) seems more stable, as we have yet to 
see the seg-faults that plagued earlier versions we used (0.70 and 
0.67).
