no answer does mean: there is no chance to change it?

There may have been a chance to change it when the developers proposed the change in the functionality originally on this list. The change was to get rid of the "ZipTooLarge" virus definition; which caused more confusion than it solved. And also; unfortunately, many milters consider any non-zero value as a VIRUS regardless of the return code. So even if we had the granularity we would still end up with a lot of complaints about the issue.

The solution you are posing would require all the milters be updated to have a three stage error message:
 1) Successful, NO VIRUS.
 2) Unsuccessful, due to space or limits set.
 3) VIRUS detected.

The case 1 would be the message would be delivered, 2 the message may be delivered with a "warning" about the reason for the failure, 3 the message would be rejected for a VIRUS.
