I would work around it as follows: If the virus-scanner returns a tempfail,
then re-run the scanner only on the unpacked MIME parts and not the original
message. The code would go something like this:
# ==========================================
# Copy original message into work directory
md_copy_orig_msg_to_work_dir_as_mbox_file();
# Scan
($code, $category, $action) = message_contains_virus();
if ($action eq 'tempfail') { # Oops... scanner choked
# Remove original message from work dir - it might be causing trouble
unlink('./Work/INPUTMSG');
# And try again
($code, $category, $action) = message_contains_virus();
}
# Now deal with $code, $category, $action as usual.
# ==========================================
Meanwhile, I'd also file a bug with the virus-scanner company. It
should handle the situation more gracefully.
Regards,
David.
