MailScanner --lint doesn't check Eicar virus

[Randal, Phil]

Well spotted!
 
Confirming that it is broken in 4.65.3
 
# MailScanner --lint
Checking version numbers...
Version number in MailScanner.conf (4.65.3) is correct.
 
Your envelope_sender_header in spam.assassin.prefs.conf is correct.
 
Checking for SpamAssassin errors (if you use it)...
SpamAssassin temp dir =
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/SpamAssassin-Temp
SpamAssassin reported no errors.
MailScanner.conf says "Virus Scanners = clamavmodule mcafee"
Found these virus scanners installed: clamavmodule, mcafee
========================================================================
===
========================================================================
===
 
If any of your virus scanners (clamavmodule,mcafee)
are not listed there, you should check that they are installed correctly
and that MailScanner is finding them correctly via its
virus.scanners.conf.
 
Cheers,
 
Phil

	Hi,
	
	I used to be able to run:
	
	# MailScanner --lint
	Checking version numbers...
	Version number in MailScanner.conf (4.65.3) is correct.
	
	Your envelope_sender_header in spam.assassin.prefs.conf is
correct.
	
	Checking for SpamAssassin errors (if you use it)...
	SpamAssassin temp dir = /tmp/SpamAssassin-Temp
	SpamAssassin reported no errors.
	MailScanner.conf says "Virus Scanners = clamavmodule"
	Found these virus scanners installed: clamavmodule
	
========================================================================

========================================================================

	If any of your virus scanners (clamavmodule)
	are not listed there, you should check that they are installed
correctly
	and that MailScanner is finding them correctly via its
virus.scanners.conf.
	
	and see MailScanner test the Eicar virus between the "===" rows,
but most recently I see this doesn't work anymore.
	
	Is there something I can check to see why?
	
	When I run the wrapper:
	
	/usr/lib/MailScanner/clamav-wrapper     /usr /tmp
	
	it finds clamav and works scans /tmp fine.
	
	Thanks.
	
	Michael.
