You DON"T want spamassassin checking files that haven't been first
cleared by a virus scanner.  SA does too much interaction, via perl,
with emails that it's not worth the risk.   Always use this order:

   1) DNSBL checks
   2) Virus checks
   3) Spam checks
   4) blacklists
   5) whitelists
   6) valid recipient checks
