But is it spam?

Anti-virus scanner to catch virus'
Spam filter to catch spam.

When I was using razor, a lot of people would report Debian posts that 
were auto-replies and unsubscribe requests as spam.  While not exactly 
desired email, it wasn't exactly UCE either.

Practically speaking, I found doing this to be rather ineffective 
against virus' and tended to screw up my spam filtering effectiveness as 
well.  Installing clamav fixed both problems.
