SophosSavi problm

[Julian Field]

I have just been playing with a really short "Restart Every" time (45
seconds) and manually running /usr/lib/MailScanner/sophos-autoupdate.
I can't get it to fail :-(

What OS and version, etc are you running? I might be able to build a test
server for it to reproduce the problem.

I'm running 4.20-3 (effectively) on RedHat 8 with Sophos 3.68.

The 2 Mac errors are okay. It's just that the Perl SAVI module is a bit
behind the list of available options in Sophos now.
