Here is some of the configurations, if this helps:

% grep -v "^#" MailScanner.conf | egrep "Virus|Deliver"
Deliver Unparsable TNEF = no
Virus Scanning = yes
Virus Scanners = mcafee
Virus Scanner Timeout = 300
Deliver Disinfected Files = yes
Silent Viruses = HTML-IFrame Klez Yaha-E Bugbear Braid-A WinEvar Palyh Sobig Fizzer
Still Deliver Silent Viruses = yes
Deleted Virus Message Report        = %report-dir%/deleted.virus.message.txt
Stored Virus Message Report        = %report-dir%/stored.virus.message.txt
Sender Virus Report        = %report-dir%/sender.virus.report.txt
Deliver Cleaned Messages = yes
Virus Modify Subject = yes
Virus Subject Text = {Virus?}
Attachment Warning Filename = VirusWarning.txt
Virus Scanner Definitions = %etc-dir%/virus.scanners.conf
Deliver In Background = yes
Delivery Method = batch

Thanks for any help/pointers!
