Cleaning and updating installs

You seem to have both rpm version (or "residue" thereof) and a
"built from source" version of clamav. Get rid of the rpm one,
you really don't want to wait around for someone to take the trouble
of building a package... Not when the source install is so
straightforward. Be sure to build/install 0.82 (although this seems
to be the one you have in /usr/local?) and to adjust
/etc/Mailscanner/virus.scanners.conf to reflect that it's in
/usr/local now.
If you want to play it safe, use more than one AV... That way you can
always "remove" a botched/missbehaving one while you tinker with it,
and still have the other scanner securing your mails.
For SA the need to be up to the very latest isn't as obvious, so
there one could probably live well with a "prebuilt" install.
