I used to use File::Scan on the office mail servers but I got complaints
about false positives. I've since switched to ClamAV.
I still use a combination of File::Scan and ClamAV on my personal mail
server (where I can be more strict about what types of files are
accepted as attachments).
I think the change would be good, because up until now, if File::Scan is
installed, it's used. I could see a case where it may be installed but
not desired to be used.
