topic on the list was:
"virus scanning with virus delivery" 20.4.04
that would be possible with amavisd-new and there's no
solution with MS (on the list).
The main reason I'm using MS is, that some customers want
to be informed about Silent Viruses and mostly not.
Amavis cannot handle that for different domains.

no banning, scan within zips

I don't think so. Thats another benefit for MS, but I don't use it anyway.
