What I did was adding a unique code to the msg_file_save and
msg_file_drop messages. This code is then seen by procmail, and procmail
then trashes the emails (I use it because some of my users get mass
mailed by virii).
I must say adding a header with the virus name is a nice idea (even
including the virus name in the msg_file_* messages would be good). The
header might be a problem because of Anomy's structure but I think
placing the virusscan output in msg_file_* could be done without too
many problems.
