Fair point.
Hopefully this will make it into the next major release. What's the best
thing to call the configuration option?

I am intending to rename the Viruses to Silently Delete option to something
like "Do Not Disinfect Or Warn Sender". I can't immediately think of a
better name for it. I don't want to keep the "Viruses to Silently Delete"
option as that isn't really what it does.

Also, does this need to be configurable per domain/address/whatever or will
a single global list suffice? It's a bit expensive to calculate the list of
matches if it's per-domain.
