"Spam" goes to ClamAV quarantine SM 15.7
Problem reported by Lennart Eliasson - 9/27/2018 at 2:42 AM

Certain email marked spam are caught by ClamAV and goes to quarantine even though there is no virus in them. Whitelisting sender doesn't help. They still go there.
Delivery log file says: "This message has been quarantined because a virus was found."

Are you running the SaneSecurity antispam/antimalware definitions in clam? 

If so, any hits will be considered a virus by SM as it does not understand the different between the default clamav defs and the sanesecurity antispam/antimalware defs.

Yes it seems so in newest sm also.

It should be possible for Smartermail to use ClamAV answer to either send to quarantine or junk.
But I guess they dont.

Do you use Sanesecurity additional definition for ClamAV?

If so try to disable it

The ClamAV integration is pass/fail, fail being it is considered to have a virus even if it is a spam definition triggering.

Same issue here since at least the late December 2020 or early January 2021 builds; too many legitimate messages are quarantined by ClamAV. It seems almost any email delivering account information (such as a credit card company message which shows the last few digits of a card number for verification to the recipient). 

It's to the point where we may have to disable ClamAV entirely.
