You cannot use rulesets for virus scanning.  If it is caught by clamav
as a virus, you'll have to change what you send, since it might
effectively represent a threat for recipients.  If it is only caught by
mailscanner you can do something though.

To do what you want, you must create a ruleset for this parameter :


# Do you want to scan the messages for potentially dangerous content?
# Setting this to "no" will disable all the content-based checks except
# Virus Scanning, Allow Partial Messages and Allow External Message Bodies.
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Dangerous Content Scanning = yes

It has been available for maybe a couple of versions, but I can't tell
which one.

There are also other settings, more precise, on the type of tags to block.
