Zip Password & Virus Trigger Problem

Quick problem.  I have MailScanner set up so that all virii are
quarantined, and the receiving user recieves nothing (silent virus option
on).  However, if the virus is also a password protected zip file, it is
merely stripped from the email, and replaced with the virus warning text
file.  I do have "Allow Zip-Passwd = no" for all incoming email, with a few
exceptions for people who actually need them.

It seems to me that the "Zip-Passwd" option, which normally removes the
attachment, but sends the message, is overiding the "Silent Virus" option.
Anybody have a way around this.

Using MailScanner 4.29.7-1,  ClamAV 0.70

Thanks.
