..but Qmail-Scanner *isn't* a virus scanner itself! That's what the AV hooks
are for.

If you want to catch viruses, you must use the AV hooks.

If you want to block certain classes of messages for policy reasons, then
you can use the perlscan module of Qmail-Scanner (the
quarantine-attachments.txt file). However, that allows you to block on
header and attachment information - it doesn't support scanning the body of
the message.
