selective virus scanning

[Mariano Absatz]

Hi Julian,

I know you were (are) quite busy... but have you read this one I sent 
yesterday?...

We're already doing some pieces of this and I'd like to know, at least 
the answer to the simple individual questions about MailScanner.conf 
settings and what happens now if some of the recipients of a message 
yield one answer in a ruleset and others yield another one...

Thanx again for MailScanner and all the support you provide.
