CommandAV wrapper

[Matt Kettler]

Personally, I use the f-prot wrapper with csav. Command AV is a derivative
of f-prot anyway, and from what I can tell from the docs, this should be
the right way. I don't think there's ever been a dedicated "command"
directory, since these two scanners have the same commandline, and only
very minor differences in output.

It is still important to set the proper scanner option in
mailscanner.conf.. for my version it is:

Virus Scanner = command

  (might have changed to csav in newer versions as Julian said)


trying to run it with the f-prot settings in mailscanner.conf causes
problems because the csav version has slightly different "last-line" output
if I recall correctly.



I'm running Mailscanner 3.20-6, and the only diff between the tarball's
f-protwrapper and my "csav-wrapper" is:

< PackageDir=/usr/bin           # This may vary depending on your OS
< Scanner=csav
---
 > PackageDir=/usr/local/f-prot          # This may vary depending on your OS
 > Scanner=f-prot


Works great for me.
