The odd thing is that I am looking into the GenericSpamScanner sample.

If I call the function from MailScanner like this:
Use Custom Spam Scanner = &SearchMalware

I was expecting it to behave differently from other functions. The
specific behaviour seems to be reserved for the actual function called
GenericSpamScanner.

Another issue is error reporting. The only error you get at startup is
about the last line tht might be missing. But just about any mistake
will show that message. Can the error report be made more specific?
