How to debug problems with MailScanner and Vexira

[Brent Bolin]

Hi All,

What can I do to debug problems when using Vexira antivirus.  Vexira simple 
won't detect any viruses.

Clamav works fine.

Using the "top: command I can see the Vexira program running.

FreeBSD 5.2.1
MailScanner-4.31.6
product version:  2.2.1-14
engine version:   6.27.0.6
packlib version:  2.0.3.13 (supports 24 formats)
vdf version:      6.27.0.25

This is NOT a milter version, it has command line features.  It works fine 
when run from the command line.

# /usr/lib/Vexira/vexira --allfiles -s -z -noboot -nombr -r1 -rs -lang=EN 
--alltypes /tmp/tmp/*

This might be interesting to note.  If the "*" is not included in the scan 
vexira dosen't find anything.
