4.39.3-1 bug - it is related to virus detection

[Quentin Campbell]

Julian

A further examination of the logs show that the error text "Cannot open
message file , No such file or directory" is related to virus scanning
by MailScanner. 

It only occurs for a message in which either/both our AV products have
detected a virus and MailScanner has flagged this in the logs.
