Given that running clamscan on the email file outside of MailScanner detects it
as a virus, I've already conclusively proven clamav has the signature and it
works properly.
One observation, though, the specific test messages I used detected as 1221 not
1222, but they're all related.
ecardspam1.eml: Email.Phishing.RB-1221 FOUND
ecardspam2.eml: Email.Phishing.RB-1221 FOUND
ecardspam3.eml: Email.Phishing.RB-1221 FOUND
However, if you insist:
# sigtool --list-sigs|grep Email.Phishing.RB-1222
Email.Phishing.RB-1222
Yes, it's there. Yes, clamscan can use it, and clamscan properly detects the
messages as viruses when executed manually. No, clamav via MailScanner cannot
detect it.
