Trying ravav on a reasonable sample of files produced no differences in 
output between ravlin8 and ravav. So edit 
/usr/lib/MailScanner/ravav-wrapper and change line4 to say ravav instead of 
ravlin8.

Please give this a try and let me know how you get on.
If there are no problems, this will be changed in the next release.
