Virus scanning of spam messages

[Alex Neuman]

It's actually "by design". If you're not getting viruses tagged as spam it
means you're not using all of the plugins, since DCC, Razor and Pyzor are
usually tagging virus messages (erroneously) as spam because of their
similar characteristics.

can you attach the Mailscanner.conf so we can see if there's anything
that might be overriding the virus scanning..
