Between Mailscanner and Amavisd-new, it seems we need one or the other
of these programs to recursively dig into and possibly uncompress a
message with attachments to be able to virus scan it completely.  Does
Mailscanner do as effective a job as Amavisd in this regard?

When I installed Amavisd a couple years ago now, I seem to remember a
load of dependencies on things like rar, tar, unzip...etc.  I didn't
see a lot of these when I compiled Mailscanner.  (Unzip, yes, but not
some of the other ones).
