Hi everyone,

I upgraded MailScanner to 4.24-5 and almost all seems good.

Clamav isn't getting called properly or something. I'm getting entries in the
maillog that look exactly like this:

Nov 16 23:26:36 ns1 MailScanner[28628]: New Batch: Found 2 messages waiting

Nov 16 23:26:41 ns1 MailScanner[28638]: Using locktype = flock
Nov 16 23:26:41 ns1 MailScanner[28628]: Uninfected: Delivered 1 messages

I've tried sending a file with the eicar string and even sent myself a live
copy of worm.mimail.c. Everything walks right through.

I assume something isn't set right. No idea what though. Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Chris
