                         Hello,
I post this mail to give the response to my pb
It was:
----------------------------------------------------------
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



Maybe it was due to a bad version of my perl modules
And i don't had install first the rpm version.

when i do this (rpm version) mailscanner works fine.

I want to give a precision:
in the mailscanner.conf file there is a directive "Deliver Cleaned Messages"
When i put No to this no message were sent to the sender of the virus. With 
"yes"
it's ok
For me this directive apply to virus cleaned by mailscanner and not detected.
