Hi all - 

I've been playing around with MailScanner, and want to share my "whishlist".
Is there any hope of these features to be implemented in a near future?

* Allow controlling mail scanning flow, e.g. in what order should
checks be done, such as AV, spamassassin, content checks,
phishing/fraud, etc..
* Allow not to continue scan if one of the checks gets positive
results, e.g. nowadays it doesn't make much sense to call SpamAssassin
to scan messages that contain worms/virus.
* Option to "score" malware/phishing/fraud/others using SpamAssassin
instead of modifying the message body.

For me, the most important one would be the first item. Mostly, I
would like to (for example) inject a X-MailScanner-Malware header that
would be picked up by SpamAssassin (and scored acordingly).

Does any of these make sense to you?

- Tim
