than hopefully your filter setup does not rely only on clamd, 
whitelisting is a local decision with many pros and cons and also 
depends on the signatures included in your setup

there is also a difference if you have just one or more than one clamd 
instance with different signatures and whitelistings

typically clamav-milter is the last stage of filtering - it's faster 
than spamassassin but spamassasin does catch much more than clamd and so 
the whole clamd can be skipped in case of sa-milter rejects
