[Mimedefang] BitDefender

Hi everyone,

After seeing support for BitDefender in MD2.36, I thought I'd give it a 
bash. Downloaded the Linux edition of BitDefender, updated it using bdc 
--update and then upgraded to MD 2.36. After this I sent a message with 
the message.zip from W32/MiMail to test. This passed straight through 
BDC. I know this is not a MimeDefang issue, but is anyone running 
BitDefender successfully out there, am I missing something or is BDC 
just a pretty useless virus scanner? At this stage, even File::Scan 
gives me better results! Which brings me to a quick further question - I 
see in mimedefang-filter that the first available  virus checker is 
used. Can anyone provide some advice on how I go about checking through 
all available Virus Scanners until there is either one found or until 
there are no more available virus scanners ?

Thanks in advance,
Stefan
