On that older box, when an e-mail is being scanned, I see in the log
that clamav and f-prot are used. On the new box however, I only see
clamav mentioned. Both virus scanners are found when MS is started.

| Change your %org-name% to crucis_net instead of crucis.net. That error
has caused many logging problems.
| And you might as well fix the other error so spamassassin ignores your
locally generated headers.
Replaced the "." with a "_", but no change. F-prot still not being
executed although clamav is.
