Package: clamav-daemon
Version: 0.84-2
Severity: wishlist

Clamd provides a number of config knobs to specify maximum sizes and file
counts and so forth in archives.  However, it regards archive
files/attachments that exceed those limits as infected, rather than passing on
them.  I can appreciate wanting a conservative deny-all-pass-some behavior for
some uses, but this makes trouble for others, such as the use of clamdscan in
SMTP scanners which prefer to err towards false-negative when dealing with
large attachments.  For that use case, it'd be nice to have a config option or
commandline switch or something to choose between the two.
