People may (or may not) find this interesting. I've not tried it, so you
have the software author's word etc...

Without a scanning engine (set "Virus Scanner = none"), MailScanner will
still happily block attachments containing any of the suspicious filenames
contained in your ruleset ("filename.rules.conf") and will also tag spam as
such.

So it's still considerably better than nothing, even without a scanning engine.
