Virus Scan Order

[Randal, Phil]

It's very useful to have viruses flagged as spam.  It increases the chances
of new variants of familiar viruses being blocked before the AV vendors have
new patterns out.

That said, the behaviour of MailScanner does need tweaking to realise that
once flagged as a Virus, the Spam actions should not take place.  But it's
too late, then...

In particular, the "Quarantine Silent Viruses = no" has no effect whatsoever
if the message has been flagged as high-scoring spam.   Arrrgh.

Cheers,

Phil
