Sophos:SAVI 'main body of virus data is out of date'

[Peter Bates]

Hello all...

I know this is partly my fault, failing to update my Sophos in a timely
fashion, but just before the weekend, the logs started filling with a
lot of:

Jun  7 03:39:51 postbox MailScanner[26029]: SophosSAVI::ERROR:: The main
body of virus data is out of date (542):: ./68C7315613C/msg-26029-3.txt
Jun  7 03:39:51 postbox MailScanner[26029]: SophosSAVI::ERROR:: The main
body of virus data is out of date (542):: ./68C7315613C/msg-26029-4.html
Jun  7 03:39:51 postbox MailScanner[26029]: SophosSAVI::ERROR:: The main
body of virus data is out of date (542):: ./68C7315613C/msg-26029-5.txt
Jun  7 03:39:51 postbox MailScanner[26029]: SophosSAVI::ERROR:: The main
body of virus data is out of date (542):: ./68C7315613C/msg-26029-6.html
Jun  7 03:39:51 postbox MailScanner[26029]: Virus Scanning: SophosSAVI
found 4 infections

Just in the interests of damage limitation, is MailScanner rejecting the
message (and contents) as a result of this error, or is it just
informational?

Naturally I updated first thing this morning, and will have to get a bit
more disciplined about updating regularly or using the 'majorsophos'
script in the future...
