Feature: Queue for Qmail-Scanner???

Hey there,

Sorry not sure if this has been suggested before or not.  I use
qmail-scanner, and am quite happy with it, however, occasionally the load on
my server rockets...

Invariably this is because the virus scanner is doing it's thing, and before
you know it, the server is overrun.

How about once the message has been accepted, it's put into a disk queue
before scanning with ClamAV / Mcafee / whatever is kicked off?  Then there
could be a config option to limit the number of simultaneous scans?  This
would keep the load "low", and ensure that things don't get out of hand...
Only side effect that I can think of is a minor delay, which is preferable
to a server that's is hammered?

Thoughts?

Thanks,

TvT.
