Hello everyone!

I'm not sure if I'm missing something or if there is an issue with ClamAV
0.65 and MailScanner 4.25-5.

In order to test a new MailScanner installation on a new box, I quarantined
an infected message as queuefiles from an existing, working MailScanner
installation.

I copy the qf* and df* files into the /var/spool/mqueue.in dir on the new
box and get the following output in /var/spool/maillog:

(ok 1069183023 qp 31970)


The email is delivered to the recipient with the virus still attached and
the following headers:

X-xxxxxxx-MailScanner: Found to be clean

Also, the subject line does not have {Virus?} prepended.
I'm not looking for MailScanner to "clean" the virus from the file and
reattach, I'd just like MailScanner to remove the infected attachment.

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks!
