So does that mean you no longer use Exiscan's "demime" facility, because,
if I understand this correctly, it is sufficient to pass the mime parts
to clamd for scanning. Using it and ScanMail would appear to bring some
"competition" between Exiscan's demime and ClamAV's ScanMail.
Could someone clarify this point?
