I note that the current exiscan docs have as an example:

deny message = This message contains malware ($malware_name)
      demime = *
      malware = *


which will of course cause a virus warning bounce back to the forged
sender. Since many of us use exiscan, and are likely to follow its
documentation, perhaps someone should ask Duncan to discuss this issue
further in the docs?

Are you suggesting that the ACL action should be an accept/freeze,
rather than a deny?

Would there be an easy way to drop the message on the floor, as opposed
to freezing it, after accepting it, so that the admin doesn't have to
deal with all the slush? I suppose setting an ACL variable for later
handling would be the answer?

cheers,
