OK, thanks, I stand corrected, and educated! Must admit I'm not very
familiar with postfix - only ever tried to do some debugging on it for
someone else.
Of course, that begs the question of whether clamav-milter would work
with postfix. If so, it should depend on (sendmail OR postfix). If not,
perhaps it should be called clamav-milter-sendmail instead, with another
package for clamav-milter-postfix.
