FWIW I've been doing this, and haven't had a single FP in 18 months of doing it (despite knowing that DCC isn't designed to detect spam, but bulk mail, it doesn't seem to trigger on mailing list mails).

Does any qpsmtpd plugin use distributed checksum clearinghouse(dcc)?

Making that distinction, that even though most people are going to regard most bulk mail as spam, dcc is not a spam detector, injects sanity to the thread. We were drifting toward viewing dcc as just another spam detector. Reliably diverting bulk to a bulk folder at the user level mail reader with no false positives is a solid feature.
Conceivably spamassassin might be relieved of further work at the point dcc yields a Bulk Poz status header, but clamav ought still to be run in a less than perfect world, just in case anybody actually reads the stuff.
What no false-positive bulk markup with no false positives on obscure mail list servers translates to for me is "guilt-free kill, safe to ignore, safe to delete the whole Bulk folder periodically". 100% is hard to find even in an incremental building block.
