It's being held rather than sent to the recipient. However, the scanner
is at a qmail list subscriber's address, not at the main qmail list.
This (a way to hook up a virus scanner to a list) was discussed in
another thread. A general solution for decomposing MIME messages and
virus scanning (or doing whatever with) the parts would be nice. All it
would do is to exit 0 for ok, and non-0 for virus. The admin can make
the non-0 100 for rejection or 99 for silently ignore.
