The clamd local scanning was resolved by setting up non_smptd_milter to 
the same socket as smtpd_milter.  Simple, obvious.

/var/log/mail/ showed EICAR detected, but the received (locally sent) email
did not have a flag in the header to show that.  

In any event, I now need to do something with, or to, the "infected" email, which
could be a simple as adding something to the subject line.  However, how to do
that, or if it is even possible, is not obvious to me.
