I'm not sure if I have some old leftovers from an RPM install or maybe a 
source install or whatever, but I have a couple of logrotate files (clamd 
and freshclam). They apparently don't do anything now as the files they 
rotate don't exist . The freshclam script might be handy though. It points 
to a file in /var/log/ but the  /usr/lib/MailScanner/clamav-autoupdate that 
I have makes a different file name in /tmp.
The logrotate script also does a postrotate  "/bin/kill -HUP `cat 
/var/run/clamav/freshclam.pid", which might or might not matter  for the way 
it works now. Is there any point to making the logrotate work with the 
autoupdate in Mailscanner? The /tmp/ClamAV.update.log file can get pretty 
large.
Thanks for ideas.
