Can "Mailcleaner" be configured to let the emails through with a
warning appended if ClamAV finds a problem, rather than simply blocking
them? That would perhaps be safer than simply letting them through.

For example, we use procmail and clamscan-procfilter.pl (which I
modified a bit from the original) on our server to scan for viruses.
This filter simply adds a header line to the email if ClamAV found a
virus. Then a procmail rule blocks the email if there was a virus. In
your case, you could allow the email (but leave the warning) if it came
from your important sender (as determined by another procmail rule).

This might be a better approach as you would be informed if any emails
came from your important sender that *do* contain an apparent virus
(assuming hardly any do in fact contain possible viruses).
