Hugo,

You should be a happy man :-)

"MailScanner --lint" now scans an actual email message containing Eicar 
with every installed virus scanner and reports the results. Any that 
didn't find it are obviously not configured correctly.

I said it wasn't simple, I never said I couldn't do it ;-)

Best regards,
Jules.
