Description

I'm almost sure the current amavis configuration has a small oversight in

/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/amavisd.conf/20policy
$final_virus_destiny      = D_REJECT; 
$final_spam_destiny       = D_DISCARD;

Assuming virus false positives are rare enough, virus should be DISCARDED, whilst spam explicitly REJECTED.
