I use an antivirus agent on the mail before it goes to the sanitizer, but
called by /etc/procmailrc just before the sanitizer gets called.

I know, though, that you're asking about scanning *from* the sanitizer,
which isn't the case here.  I didn't want to mangle the sanitizer to a
point where it wouldn't be overwrite-upgraded as updates are released.
