I use it, but mostly because it was recommended as the fastest initial line 
of defence against Viri when using MIMEDefang. The only times I have had 
false positives that I am aware of were bought to my attention by users. In 
both these cases, I was completely ignored by the File::Scan author when I 
contacted him via email with a sample of the offending code.
David, if you say File::Scan is dubious, then I would stop using it if 
mimedefang stopped enabling it by default.
