So, you want postfix to accept the virus, send it to dovecot's deliver which then calls a virus scanner and finds it infected and deletes it, that makes absolutely no sense ACK.
but imagine:
MTA delivers a mail where the virusscanner finds nothing. Mail gets delivered. Some time later there is a scannerupdate. Now the scanner would find a malicious content.
So I may instantly scan the complete mailstore each time a new pattern arrives or scan only each accessed mail with the latest pattern. This seems smarter to me.
For this scenario I would like to see a concept for datainspection/datamodification in dovecot. What about when dovecot would act as a milter client? Sounds strange but the problems are the same, why not use existing solutions ?
