> aren't you out hunting mosquitos with hand grenades?

If the "mosquito" is a very nasty but important customer it's bether using
tank's, mg's and whatever you can organize in order to prevent painfull
stings...

On a day liky today I could turn on DELETEVIRUSES with nearly zero risk in
order to keep the server disk clean. But what happens if tommorow turns out
that one of the scan engines has catched many legit messages as viruses due
to a new buggy singature or because a legit message unexpected contains
something "sospicious". How do you explain to customers that the messages
are already deleted?

F-Prot's exit code 8 (suspicious files) has catched a lot of new unknow
viruses before singatures was available. So I use this exit code in my
config to hold messages. But suspicous could also be something legit we
don't know at the moment.

As I can understand a feature like DELETEVIRUSNAME wouldn't require more
then 30 lines of code and 3 hours of work and it would eliminate any need
for own scripts on each server. This is not what I consider a hand
grenade...
