MailScanner issue with postfix

[Sylvain MEDEOT]

Hi,

I am setting up MailScanner on a Mandrake 7.2 mail server with Postfix. I
followed step by step the installation procedure
(/etc/postfix, /etc/postfix.in, modifications of main.cf and master.cf).

This is not the first mail server I am protecting with MailScanner... But
this is the oldest one since I had no problems with newest releases of
Mandrake...

This server is running postfix-19991231_pl08-5mdk. After the installation
of MailScanner (everything fine) with McAfee, I can send and receive mails
as usually... But, the mails are never scanned...

Nothing special in the logs :
Jun 20 17:51:19 intranet MailScanner[1182]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus
Scanner version 4.21-9 starting...
Jun 20 17:51:19 intranet MailScanner[1182]: Using locktype = flock

If I try manually to run /var/lib/MailScanner/mcafee-wrapper eicar.com, it
works... But the mails are never scanned !

In fact, I am sure that this script is never called by MailScanner since I
replaced it with a different one to trace what was really happening...

Of course, /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf includes the following lines :

Virus Scanning = yes
Virus Scanners = mcafee

and /usr/lib/MailScanner/mcafee-wrapper is pointing to

PackageDir=/usr/local/uvscan
prog=uvscan # `basename $0`
datDIR=$PackageDir

ls /usr/local/uvscan -l gives the following :

Any idea ?
