Yes, I checked. No symlinks at all. I moved qf and df only for convenience.
This is the only case I found. All other infected email I try to forward
MailScanner finds a virus. I think if it's a symlinks problem MailScanner
fails with all forward. Is not it?

In this hours I tested the same situation on a fedora core 1
mailscanner-4.32.5-1
uvscan 4.3.20
