is it 100,000,000 10,000,000 or 1,000,000,000?

Hi,

I just modified MailScanner::Config.pm so you can write large numbers in
MailScanner.conf with the perlish "_" as a thousand separator... well, in
fact it is used as a transparent character, you can group it as you like.

I use it to write:
Max Unscanned Bytes Per Scan = 100_000_000
Max Unsafe Bytes Per Scan = 50_000_000

instead of:
Max Unscanned Bytes Per Scan = 100000000
Max Unsafe Bytes Per Scan = 50000000

but nobody prevents you from writing:
Max Unscanned Bytes Per Scan = 100_00_0_00__0
Max Unsafe Bytes Per Scan = 50_000000___

although it doesn't seem useful to me :-)

I didn't test it inside a ruleset, but it should also work.

I'm enclosing a patch for MailScanner-4.14-9
