I'm not messing with it, uvscan is doing it.  Is there a better software
alternative that will delete viruses on the server?  Are we the only people
using cyrus that are running virus scanning software on the server?

Btw, I would think cyrus should be able to handle the simple case of a missing
single file.  I should be able to delete a message for which the message file
is already missing.  We're not talking about a complex database file structure
here.  It's a single file with a single message.
