I think it is already in de clamd protocol, as i understand it from the
man clamd page:
STREAM Scan stream - on this command clamd will return "PORT
number" you should connect to and send data to scan.
It's just not implementend in amavisd, I think. It could be useful as a
backup scanner, although I would rather not see an extra port opening up
(looks like ftp, yuck!) but something in the protocol in the current
sesion (like DATA in smtp, or POST in http)
