On my email server, i don't believe spamassassin ever actually sees
the MS Update crap.  Amavisd runs it through clamscan before it goes
to spamassassin.

For those who are interested in clam AV....
http://clamav.elektrapro.com/

Before i setup postfix/amavisd/clam/spamassassin we were using
Symantec AV for Exchange.  After i setup clamscan, i left Symantec in
place downstream to scrub any infected messages that clamscan missed.
That was about three months ago and so far, not a single virus has
gotten by clamscan.  Impressive.

Assuming this performance continues, I will not be renewing the
contract for Symantec for Exchange next year.
