[CentOS] How to add ClamAV to Postfix?

[Per Qvindesland]

Hi

Have you tried this how to:
http://www.opensourcehowto.org/how-to/postfix/postfix--clamav--mailscanner--
dovecot--ilohamail.html

Just skip the setup stuff for postfix and change the dowload link for clamav
to http://crash.fce.vutbr.cz/crash-hat/centos/5/clamav/

Or this how to:
