An elegant solution.  I've already put it into production.  Thanks.

I want to put in my $0.02 on running perlscan after the virus
scanner(s).  We had perlscan blocking all sorts of attachments, but it
was creating too many complaints when common viruses that I wanted to be
silent got bounced.  So I just turned off the perlscanner blocking.

Yet I still would like to block a lot of attachment types used by
viruses.  The day my antivirus scanner can't detect the latest virus, I
want some assurance that virus will be bounced because of it's
attachment type.  If that forces the virus writers to package everything
in zip file or in a macro virus, so be it.

You can add "perlscan_scanner" to the list of @scanner_array (ie, at
the
end of the other virus scanners), and comment out "&perlscan_scanner"
in
sub init_scanners().
