Bug, or configuration option I missed?

Hi Folks-

   I had an interesting failure overnight that effectively was caused by a 
corrupted library for the virus scanner.  This caused the virus scanner to 
time out in the eyes of MailScanner (and dump a lot of corefiles), and 
MailScanner then proceeded to believe that this was a silent virus and 
toss it as any of the other silent viruses (MailScanner thought it was a 
denial of service attack).

   If there isn't a configuration option to deal with this scenario, what 
would be better than tossing messages, would have been to quarantine the 
messages.  But as in my case, I suspect that other checks in MailScanner 
would have caught a possible virus in that flurry, it would have been best 
to send the message through the remaining tests, and flag it somehow as 
not passing virus scanning.

   Is this a bug/feature-request, or did I miss a configuration option to 
handle virus scanner failures?

   Thanks!
