That sounds like a good idea, even as a general principle.

Hmm. I'd also like to have the daemon make decisions about adding
header(s), adding or removing recipients (like, maybe we'd want
to forward infected messages to a special host elsewhere),
or even replacing the body (after removing the virus, should
someone want to try that).

With a suitable protocol it should be possible for the daemon to
be more or less ignorant about whether it's talking to milter
or a stand-alone client.
