Yes, this would be an option, if both High-Threads are overloaded - let's 
see how it works the simple way.
For the last days, this feature (and every change I made) was running on 
my prod systems without any issue. I use both scanner options. Yes, the 
overall system workload was a little growing, but this is normal, if now 
every mail or file is scanned for a virus. And not any other 
implementation would change this.

>>I wonder why you aren't spawning another thread

Sounds nice and easy - but it is'nt. Implementing another High-Thread 
requires a redesign of many code parts.
- startup
- shutdown
- thread controll and monitoring
- stats
- SNMP
- GUI
- health check
............

Before I would create a new thread for the scanning, I see the chance to 
make both new options a 'select' [OFF, resend folder only , resend folder 
and collected files] .
If there are virus infected files in the corpus, this does not matter as 
long as nobody want to access them. Even infected mail parts are used by 
the rebuildspamdb to make the spam detection more accuate. Only the resend 
is dangerous - an infected file should not (never) be resent.

thinking loud:

store the file in a separate "scan" folder, then the scanner process
will decide where to move it (regular storage or quarantine); this way
only the scanner will "know where the file is" :)

As for using a regular thread or an high one... I wonder why you aren't
spawning another thread just for this task; all in all it will run only
if this scan is enabled :)
