Hello Phillip,

I use Debian 9, but clamsmtp. the package is also available on Debian 7.

I was using the milter before, but there is a huge advantage using 
clamsmtp: it does not block the SMTP session, mails are filtered after 
the accept queue.

You can then drop or bounce them, and put the file in quarantine.

Kind regards,
André

PS: I suggest you to use an up to date distribution.
