Per-domain scanning control

[Rose, Bobby]

Seems like you could do that now by changing the process names couldn't
you, eg have a separate mailscanner command for mailscanner1,
mailscanner2, etc.  I think the real request here is have mailscanner
spin off multiple threads but my understanding is that can be a real
pain in perl because of poor process scheduling.

For us, it might be useful.

But much, much higher up our request list would be the ability to run
parallel mailscanner processes on a single domain (or across all
domains), as the current single-process model looks like being a
bottleneck.
