Mailscanner doesn't detect virus

[Stuart Luppescu]

One of our users got an attachment with the W32/Magister.dam3 virus, but
MailScanner passed it with ``found to be clean'' in the header. When I
run mcafeewrapper on the attachment by hand it gives:
        Found the W32/Magistr.dam3 virus !!!
MailScanner otherwise seems to be working correctly -- it detects a
virus every day or so. Just this one got by. I even tested it by
attaching it to a message and sending it to myself and it again was not
detected. 

Does anyone know what's going on?

(I'm running MailScanner 3.02 on RedHat Linux 6.2 with McAfee and daily
updates.)
