ClamAV and MailScanner Bug

[Rose, Bobby]

So how many people run the MailScanner.conf upgrade script (or diff the
changes) and of that how many stop and reread the notes that have been
added to MailScanner.conf?  I'll bet very few if any.  As Julian
mentioned early, only clamav and mcafee need this path to be absolute.
My setup for almost 2 years was with Sophos, then I added Clamav to the
scanner list and I was running fine for about 6 months and that was only
because Sophos was still in the list.  It was only after I removed
Sophos from the list of scanner that the problem stood out.  I doubt
many would have thought to look at that note when in their
troubleshooting, they merely changed the scanners to sophos or
clamavmodule and saw that they worked.

And why would the same people that don't read the instructions now read
it then?

Julian fixed it now so they don't have to read at all. ;-)
