I solved this problem with exim by adding clamav to a group that is able
to read the mail files (mail in this case), but not write them, which is
IMHO a better solution that using the same user. Is this possible for vscan
and qscand too?

If not, I agree that we need this. But I would prefer the group solution,
since that is what users and groups are there for.
