I didn't know that unix version of mks_vir is so bad... Only 75% detection? Did
you update virus-databases?
Anyway - more supported antiviruses is always better... so if it's not to hard
to do then mailscanner could also support mks_vir.
Support for mks_vir is not essential for me but others may like it.
