[Qmail-scanner-general]Ignoring 'Illegal breakage'

[Angus McIntyre]

One of the tests that qmail-scanner performs is checking for illegal 
breaks in MIME headers, signalled as "Illegal breakage" in the log 
files and reports. This is diagnostic of some viruses, but it also 
tends to catch a lot of spam.

I have other mechanisms for handling spam, and would prefer 
qmail-scanner not to intercept spam. Moreover, for each spam that it 
misidentifies as a potential virus, it generates a quarantine warning 
to postmaster, which isn't what I want.

As far as I can see, there's no external configuration setting to 
control this test. Is it safe (or useful) to hack the 
qmail-scanner-queue.pl file to set '$illegal_mime' to 0 rather than 1 
following this check? Or is there a cleaner way to do it?

Thanks, Angus
