i complained about that many months ago, frankly it was the reason to 
register for the ML at all and that you can't whitelist 
"Heuristics.Phishing.Email.SpoofedDomain" with a ign2 file and so you 
have to turn off other things too like google sfafebrowsing

clamav is literally unuseable until you fire up at least two instances, 
fix the spamassassin-clamav plugin so that is supports more than one 
instance and score them different or don't score it high at all

> These emails are legitimate, sent to optin customers of Paypal, and authenticate with SPF, DKIM and DMARC.

clamav has no way to verify that and hence the 
"Heuristics.Phishing.Email.SpoofedDomain" should not exist at all or at 
least have a option to disable that *and only* that
