I have spent a bit of time looking over the list archives and have not
found a resolution to this. If anyone can point me in the direction I
would be greatful.

Variable $VirusScannerName set by the various routines that invoke virus

to mimedefang-filter as VirusScannerMessage is.

It does not look too have to implement (one line of code per AV
subroutine + appropriate definition of the virus). But I really dislike
running local hacks in upstream code (only from a management
perspective), what would the possibility of this getting put into
mimedefang proper? Or is there an even better way to handle this?

Thanks again,

Stewart
