I just got an email from portscout about
www/squidclamav/ port. Indeed, it has no maintainer:
https://www.freshports.org/www/squidclamav/

but the point of this email is a total mystery, probably just an
error, no? I never touched this port, for sure...

I think it's OK if once upon a time an email listing all the
un-maintained ports is sent around,
but otherwise it's merely spam.
