Simple enough.
I did run that and it is using the default location one which is the
/usr/local

Don't have that

I checked this and it is /usr/local.  So according to this file
"virus.scanner.conf" MailScanner uses the default location of
/usr/local?  Which is really /usr/local/clamav?

I have to dig into logwatch a little now too.  How do you tell what
freshclam logwatch uses?  Or which freshclam that the entry to logwatch
references?  I did not see any text in the log file that hinted to which
freshclam that it was using.

I will wait to see what the next output of logwatch is, hopefully it
will be fixed after cleaning up a bit.
