Are you filtering your emails with Clamav? Get rid of french marketing spam. It's free.
The ostrich-style technique of getting the message and then silently killing it can lead only to increasing number of spam messages: once you accept the message (issuing the SMTP 354 code in reply to the DATA command), spammers get a confirmation that the address they are sending to is alive, and will send more and more. When you respond with 550, they don't. For ClamAV, its' primary task is to check whether executable (in wide sence) attachments contain something dangerous. Using it for checking all the messages is just an ineffective waste of resources... -- Alexey V.
