I'd recommend moving freshclam from /usr/bin to its standard location of
/usr/local/bin - that's where a normal ClamAV install puts it, and that's
where MailScanner expects to find it.

Leave it as a link if you also want it in /usr/bin for some reason, but don't
change the autoupdate script to point to a non-standard location unless you
have a good reason to do so.

Just my opinion...
