Evening all.

I've been trying to get MailScanner use Kaspersky virus scanner without 
success. 
I downloaded a trial version (kav5.5trial) and installed the deb file. The deb 
file installed Kaspersky to /opt/kav/5.5/kav4mailservers/. 
The wrapper script runs successfully, yet the log file never shows kaspersky 
scan the email, I can however see Clamav and Mailscanner entries in the 
detailed report. 
I have edited the installation directory in virus.scanners.conf to point 
to /opt/kav/5.5/kav4mailservers .
