ClamAV log problem

[Peter Bonivart]

According to your log below it doesn't actually say that ClamAV was
updated but rather that it is trying to update it, compare to the line
for F-prot, it's from the wrapper script. You seem to be missing the log
line from ClamAV's update script which is called by
update_virus_scanners. When I run it I get this:

Jun 25 23:52:06 rocco update.virus.scanners: Found clamav installed
Jun 25 23:52:06 rocco update.virus.scanners: Updating clamav
Jun 25 23:52:06 rocco ClamAV-autoupdate[2210]: ClamAV did not need updating

A successful update would log this:

Jun 25 18:00:06 rocco ClamAV-autoupdate[8083]: ClamAV updated

That's the line you're missing, you have logs from the wrapper and from
F-prot's update script but not from ClamAV's.

Try running /opt/MailScanner/lib/clamav-autoupdate manually to see if it
logs anything.
