I seem to recall the last time BitDefender came up on this mailing list a 
month or two back, the general opinion was that it wasn't a very good 
anti-virus system, because there seemed to be a lot of viruses it didn't 
catch.

What's the benefit / advantage of trying to use the output of BitDefender 
(especially if it's the sort of program which puts ANSI colour sequences in 
piped output), instead of any of the other antivirus engines supported by 
MailScanner?
