True, but I suppose this time you can add the definition of 'spam' to
the argument list.  On the one had, virii are "unsolicited junk mail".

My view on this (here, now) is :
If it is trivially easy to flag the virus within the existing SA
framework, why not?  Just three more lines in the config file, and
easy enough for users to turn on/off.  (you can also argue - then add
it to my own configuration - and that is valid too)

Is this the same scanner Gene mentioned?
