What version of MS are you running?  I just upgraded to 4.13-3 today from
4.11-x, but my Sophos has been running fine with 3.67

I upgraded Sophos to v3.67 today, and am now getting errors when
Mailscanner is trying to scan mail:
Error initialising detection engine - missing part of virus data
Error initialising detection engine - missing part of virus data
etc, etc...

It appears that Sophos has updated their virus data format:
"The new version of Sophos Anti-Virus can read virus data from a number
of small files, rather than from a single, large file. Future monthly
updates of Sophos Anti-Virus will involve replacing only those virus
data files that have been updated."

Is this something new that will be patched, or have I not been paying
attention and need to finally upgrade Mailscanner to the current version
so this will start working again?
