Why hack MailScanner to achieve something it already does perfectly well
anyway?

As long as you have switched on virus scanning and have told it which
scanner to use, it won't deliver a virus to your customers anyway.
Deleting them by hacking MailScanner won't make any difference at all.
And people who hack MailScanner don't get any support from me either,
unless there is a very good reason for them having made a change.
