                 Hello,
i had pb with my mailscanner config (4.05-3)
When i test with virus file, the mail log file said:
Nov 15 14:26:33 limdns-new MailScanner[13585]: 
/usr/local/MailScanner-4.05-3/var/incoming/13585/gAFDQQAl014953/test.zip/URFRIEND.SCR 
Found virus or variant W32/Yaha !!!

Nov 15 14:26:33 limdns-new MailScanner[13585]: 
/usr/local/MailScanner-4.05-3/var/incoming/13585/gAFDQQAl014953/test.zip/VALUE.EXE 
Found virus or variant W32/Klez !!!

Nov 15 14:26:33 limdns-new MailScanner[13585]: Virus Scanning: mcafee found 
8 infections
Nov 15 14:26:33 limdns-new MailScanner[13585]: Virus Scanning: Found 8 viruses
Nov 15 14:26:33 limdns-new MailScanner[13585]: Uninfected: Delivered 1 
messages
Nov 15 14:26:33 limdns-new MailScanner[15008]: MailScanner
Nov 15 14:26:33 limdns-new MailScanner[15008]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus 
Scanner version 4.05-3 starting...

Nov 15 14:26:33 limdns-new MailScanner[15008]: Using locktype = flock

8 virus are found, but the attach file was delivered with the message
"no infection was found"
Mcafee said viruses found and mailscanner Unifected: deliver 1 message

Why mailscanner does not put infected file in quarantine directory ?

I had another mailscanner 2.60 version and it works fine with this zip 
infected file
