I have a feeling the Sophos one is silent. You can always add a line to
/usr/lib/MailScanner/sophos-autoupdate
so that it prints something. It's just that, as it is run by cron, you will
get all the output mailed to you. I use the Sophos one so I wrote it to be
quiet. Sorry they aren't consistent :-(
