This should change if you set this to yes.
This option is new, I mean it's been added after I read the 
MailScanner.conf from beginning to end last time ;-) I think if you set 
this option to yes it will *not* stop scanning after it was found to be 
spam and will find the virus. Since it is then flagged as a virus 
Mailwatch won't give you an option to release it. Jules?
