Normally they would both be correct. MailScanner reporting that the
configured virus scanner reported a problem and the virus scanner
reporting the problem as "Too many attachments in message"

There is a thread on this (involving you and me) in the archives
starting at
<http://lists.mailscanner.info/pipermail/mailscanner/2016-November/103999.html>.
Much of it is noise, but my reply at
<http://lists.mailscanner.info/pipermail/mailscanner/2016-November/104024.html>
indicates that this situation is triggered by MailScanner's Maximum
Attachments Per Message setting being exceeded.

I haven't looked at this further since last November, but if that
doesn't seem to be the issue, let me know and I'll check further.
