[imp] Virus Scan Attachments on upload

[Dan Wilson]

I've got qmail-scanner handling all incoming mail, but I don't have it going 
out.  I'd prefer it this way seeing as I would rather not invoke the scanner 
when sending my emails from my sites, etc.

But I really think it would be a good idea to let a user know that they have 
just uploaded a virus.
