That works, thanks. So that leads me to my next question. So why when I send
test virii from testvirus.org does it scan them and find them clean??? Both
clamav and sophos come back clean.

I also grabbed the latest tar and am going to reinstall Sophos using your
Sophos.install.linux script, which I had NOT done prior to my post.

Thanks Julian for the assist!

/usr/lib/MailScanner/sophos-wrapper /usr/local/Sophos eicar.com is what you
want.
