Not picked up by MailWatch.pm and shown as viruses in MailWatch either.
I only note it though for the Email.Hdr.Sanesecurity* signatures - all
the rest report just fine, just not these - e.g.:

Jun  7 16:32:49 smtp1
MailScanner[5919]: /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/5919/./l57MWISF012136.header: Email.Hdr.Sanesecurity.07012400 FOUND
Jun  7 16:32:50 smtp1 MailScanner[5919]: Virus Scanning: ClamAV found 1
infections
Jun  7 16:32:51 smtp1 MailScanner[5919]: Infected message
l57MWISF012136.header came from
Jun  7 16:32:51 smtp1 MailScanner[5919]: Virus Scanning: Found 1 viruses
Jun  7 16:32:51 smtp1 MailScanner[5919]: Logging message l57MWISF012136
to SQL
Jun  7 16:32:51 smtp1 MailScanner[6700]: l57MWISF012136: Logged to
MailWatch SQL

And even though MailWatch is logged as adding to SQL, when I look in the
database table, the message is not logged.......
