All of these services produce killer false positives eventually. If
you're using amavisd-new, you can score them instead of reject outright:
@virus_name_to_spam_score_maps =
(new_RE(
[ qr'^MBL_.*' => 4.0 ],
));
That doesn't totally fix the problem, but if the message is otherwise
pristine (no blacklists, etc.) then a MalwarePatrol hit won't be fatal.
