Virus scanning is explicitly called from mimedefang-filter. If you do
not ask for it, it will not be performed. Usual place where it is
invoked is filter_begin (if you want to scan entire email once, and than
make accpet/reject decision). Some people call it from filter and
filter_multipart instead (if you want to scan each part separately, and
than only remove infected parts instead of blocking entire email).
So basically, commenting or deleting parts of mimedefang-filter where
you are checking for viruses should prevent any virus scanning from
taking place, regardless of values assigned to global variables.
