FW: 4.62.9-1 & MailScanner --lint [MORE INFO]

[Quentin Campbell]

Julian

The MailScanner --lint output I am getting is related to the fact that I
have "Virus Scanners = clamavmodule mcafee". If I change that line in
MailScanner.conf to be "Virus Scanners = clamav mcafee" then I get the
following (more sensible) output from MailScanner --lint but also note
confusion in the output over clamav/clamavmodule being installed:

------------- cut here
[root at cheviot9 MailScanner]# MailScanner --lint 
Checking version numbers...
Version number in MailScanner.conf (4.62.9) is correct.

Your envelope_sender_header in spam.assassin.prefs.conf is correct.

Checking for SpamAssassin errors (if you use it)...
SpamAssassin temp dir =
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/SpamAssassin-Temp
SpamAssassin reported no errors.
MailScanner.conf says "Virus Scanners = clamav mcafee"
Found these virus scanners installed: clamavmodule, mcafee
========================================================================

Ignore errors about failing to find EOCD signature
========================================================================

Virus Scanner test reports:
ClamAV said "eicar.com contains Eicar-Test-Signature"
McAfee said "/1/eicar.com        Found: EICAR test file NOT a virus."

If any of your virus scanners (clamavmodule,mcafee)
are not listed there, you should check that they are installed correctly
and that MailScanner is finding them correctly via its
virus.scanners.conf.

In addition I have just been using CPAN to install Mail::ClamAV on some
other gateways and noted that when it does its post install tests it
also notices that the database is out of date:

[root at cheviot4 log]# grep -i clam /etc/MailScanner/virus.scanners.conf
clamav          /usr/lib/MailScanner/clamav-wrapper     /usr/local
clamd           /bin/false                              /usr/local
clamavmodule    /bin/false                              /tmp
[root at cheviot4 log]#

Before requesting help I changed /tmp for /usr/local for the
clamavmodule but that made no difference.
