There is a section in MailScanner.conf for this.... Mainly what you
need change is the monitor line so that it:
a) Mathces where you have put your clamav signature databas(es), and
b) match all the possible files comprising your DBs... That means one
item for *,cvd, one item for *.inc/* and one item for *.*db (more or
less...:-). separate the items by space.
This has been covered several times over the last ... oh... 6 months
or so... on this list, so if you need something to cut'n'paste, please
look through the archives (there was a recent ... spat... of
"misconfigurations" revealed by the last major incremental clamavdb
update:-).
IIRC Jules have enhanced the upgrade script to determine if this is
set, although I think he doesn't really check if they seem sane...
After all, only one of the .cvd or .inc items need be correct:-).

Cheers
