sophossavi [was Re: scanning precedence]

[Carlos Canau]

After last night IDE update from Sophos MailScanner started crashing:

Apr  9 08:06:13 host MailScanner[25740]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus Scanner version 4.14-9 starting...
Apr  9 08:06:17 host MailScanner[25740]: SophosSAVI ERROR:: initializing savi: Unknown error (557)

I've had to change back from sophossavi to sophos.

Any hints on how to debug it on MailScanner ?

/SAVI-Perl-0.15/example root at host# ./scan.pl /tmp/SPAM4.txt
Version 3.68 (engine 2.14) recognizing 80962 viruses
        IDE /opt/sophos/lib/vdl.dat released 4/7/2003
Error setting Mac: 524
Error setting SafeMacDfHandling: 524

Scanning /tmp/SPAM4.txt - clean

thanks,
