Hi Bill,

I think the only ClamAV link on the Postfix site ultimately resolves to here:

http://www.postfixvirtual.net

Are these instructions you are referring to?

I can try those instrutions, but I had been scared off by the authors
initial disclaimer:

"Dear Reader, this howto hasn't been updated since 2006 and has some
parts which are missing. You may end up installing a non-working
postfix but I believe it can help you to guide through the
installation steps if you know what you are doing:)"

Or perhaps there was another link from postfix.org?
