Since we're treating clamav's detected phishes as spam, instead of
rejecting them (what we do with regular malware), we noticed that
the heuristic detection causes lots of false positives: in only a
few samples I detected legitimate paypal mails (and I know it's
legit because it's DomainKeys signed), and mails to the lockergnome
mailinglist.

I have now disabled the heuristic by setting "PhishingScanURLs no".

Is anyone actually using this to reject mails on a large production
environment, without getting serious complaints about false positives?
(we're doing 5-10 million mails a day, could be that we're seeing
more false positives due to the high volume)
