Yes, I entirely agree. However, I didn't want to rename an option as
important as this. The "upgrade_MailScanner_conf" script would detect it as
an old option having been removed and a new option added. So you would end
up with the option probably switched on. Unless you read the output of the
script fairly carefully, you wouldn't notice that all your virus scanning
rules were being ignored. And I bet people don't read the script output,
they just ignore it.

So it's rather difficult to rename this option now :-(
I have a phobia about pissing off existing users....
