Hi all --
I just got qmail-scanner's built-in scanner to detect and reject the
EICAR test virus. Woo-hoo. The default warning message looks a bit
unprofessional though:
A Virus was found in an Email message you sent.
^^^^^ ^^^^^
This is English, not German -- only proper nouns should be capitalized.
A partial fix:

print SM "\nLOCALE_sender_explanation\n";

This is consistent with one other setting of $destring, to "problem".
I note that $destring can also be set to "Illegal attachment type" --
does that mean that qmail-scanner might generate a warning that starts
off like this:
A Illegal attachment type ...
? Yuck!
I couldn't figure out where the rest of that message is in
qmail-scanner-queue.template -- it's obvious in the generated .pl file,
but I presume there's not much use supplying patches against that.
Anyways, the conventional spelling is either "email" or "e-mail" -- like
"virus", it's not a proper noun!
The other grammatical problem:
[...] reaching it's destination.
That's a possessive -- should be "its". Again, I couldn't figure out
how to fix this in qmail-scanner-queue.template. Should be a snap for
someone who knows the code!
