Not even Microsoft do this.
I can't tell you how many support calls I've received over the years
with people saying "my Internet stopped working" and it was due to
their
Norton or McAfee license expiring.
As someone so eloquently stated earlier, your clamav<0.95 license has
expired. It's as simple as that.
If you felt other consequences, like mail stopped flowing, change
your
mail config to fail-open rather than fail-closed. Your mail config
is
simply not anyone else's responsibility.
Most of us choose an open-source project exactly because it wouldn't
work
the way Norton or McAfee work.
Or do you really think ClamAV is a big and smart monster against
malware?

Again, you miss the point, the point was not that they were acting as
Norton or McAfee, but that those whose systems stopped sending mail
AND are upset by it, did not properly configure their system.
