Hi Martin,

I'm using mailscanner-4.36.4-1 and nvc-5.70.04-0 on Fedora Core2 and again
NVCC fails to be called from the norman-wrapper.
My other scanners F-prot,Bitdefender...all pick-up the Eicar test -yet no
sign of Norman scanner being called when examing the sys (mail)/norman logs.

Both NVCC and norman-wrapper work fine from the command shell.

I've created a new norman-wrapper to simply write some text to a file - no
joy,so I'm guessing it is an issue with  mailscanner itself.

I'll keep investigating.

Regards

John
