Hello,

This should have been asked in the MailScanner list.  Nevertheless, you
are using clamdscan instead of clamscan (as do I since it is much more
efficient).  The -r option you refer to is actually in the
/usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/SweepViruses.pm file; you have to
remove the -r that is called from there manually.  Not a very clean way
of doing things (and you have to re-do it if you upgrade MailScanner),
but necessary to run clamdscan.  The older clamav took the -r without
complaints, but the new one does not.  MailScanner folks does not seem
to take into consideration that clamdscan is better than Mail::ClamAV,
which is better than plain old clamscan.

So I hope you (and I) don't get too much flak for this OT post.
