Hi,

As a result of a recent high-impact [1] false positive spam detection in
Gentoo mail, we've disabled using the MalwarePatrol ruleset in Clamav
for spam detection for all inbound mail to @gentoo.org

All other old rulesets that haven't seen an update in more than 1 year
were also cleaned out, as they seem to be no longer available upstream
or explicitly no longer updated.

[1] Notably, MalwarePatrol's basic subscription got an entry matching
any mail with "https://docs.google.com" in it, which ended up blocking
some mail about GSOC payments this year. Upstream MalwarePatrol provides
minimal workarounds for that only: see "False positives" on:
https://www.malwarepatrol.net/non-commercial/
