With 2.5.0 yes.

With 2.4.* the defanging does notice and act on all flagged content types,
but the catch is the SA is not called when content is known to be banned
or infected, so defanging does not know that it should encapsulate message
and attach a spam report.

With 2.5.0, SA will still be called even if banned file is detected, so
defanging would reliably mark such banned+spam mail with a banned+spam
report.

Note however that I'm reluctant to call SA when mail is known to be
infected (for security reasons), so even in 2.5.0 when recipient is a
virus lover, and mail is also spam, it would not be known to be spam
and flagged as such. Enabling this is just a matter of commenting out
some lines, but I believe I won't do this in a released code.
