A little comparison: version 2 was 1,290 lines of code, with 19
configuration options.
The current release is 26,625 lines of code, with 173 configuration options.

So the code has grown by a factor of 20, and the options by a factor of 9.
And it is a *whole* lot faster than version 2 as well.

As a bit of memorabilia, here is the entire mailscanner.conf file from
version 2:

# Configuration file for ECS E-Mail Virus Scanner
Debug = 0
Max Safe   Messages Per Scan = 500
Max Unsafe Messages Per Scan = 50
Max Safe   Bytes Per Scan = 100000000
Max Unsafe Bytes Per Scan = 50000000

Restart Every = 14400 # 4 hours (=4*60*60 seconds)
