Hi There

I was using MailScanner version 4.30.3-1 with AVG Antivirus and it worked
perfectly.

But after upgrading to version 4.32.5-1 (and adding BitDefender console
edtion as second virus scanner) Mailscanner stopped stating "AVG found
virus" in "notice mails" and also in Mailwatch.

As you can see from maillog (fragment added below) AVG and Bitdefender
correctly found EICAR virus, but in "notice mail" and MailWatch is stated,
that only Bitdefender found virus (not any mention about AVG).

I think that problem is that in maillog I see many "^M" in AVG report
instead of path to infected file (as in bitdefender report).
But I can not figure out, how that "^M" could get to the log.
Where could be problem?
And how to correct this?
