When running MS in debug mode on a machine running MS 4.62.2-3 & ClamAV 0.91 it says:

[root at cheviot1 tmp]# service MailScanner start
Starting MailScanner daemons:
         incoming sendmail:                                [  OK  ]

[root at cheviot1 tmp]#

The ClamAV database is up to date. The same behaviour is seen on two similarly built machines.

This does not happen on a third machine running MS 4.61.3-1 & ClamAV 0.90.3.
