Sophos issue?

[Tim Tyler]

I am in the process of trying to upgrade from mailscanner 2.6 to the latest
4.x version.  I am a bit confused in the virus configuration section.  We
use Sophos.  I believe its simply the Sophossavi license since we only use
it for email purposes.  I have sophos installed in /usr/local/sav with the
sweep binary in /usr/local/bin and the libraries in /usr/local/lib.  I
noticed there is a install.sophos script in mailscanner/bin.  I presume
that is for the full sophos package and not sophos savi, correct?   The old
configuration used to have a direct path for the sweep binary.  How do I
make sure that it can find the sweep binary now?
Note:
If I use sophossavi, it doesn't process the messages.  I get the following
errors in syslog:
Jul 16 15:07:37 backt MailScanner[27962]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus Scanner
version 4.22-5 starting...
Jul 16 15:07:46 backt root: Process did not exit cleanly, returned 2 with
signal 0

Somehow, I don't think its finding the sophos binary, "sweep".

Note: the spam side with spamassassin seems to be working fine.
