Hi there,

I am using MailScanner (currently 4.32.5-1) with AVG Antivirus (and
Bitdefender as second antivirus). All was good, but now, when only AVG
indetifies virus (Bitdefender not), Mailscanner will pass message as
uninfected to recipient.

Fragment of maillog:

I suppose, that it is connected with "^M" problem in path (as written in
another message). But virus passing through MailScanner is alarming.

What to do with this?
