MailScanner 4.68.8 and F-Secure 5.54 on Debian Etch

Hi

I've been running MailScanner with F-Secure Antivirus 4.65 on Debian
Sarge for some time, and when I upgraded to Etch and installed F-Secure
Server Security 5.54 (command line only) I noticed that I needed
something newer than the MailScanner version in Etch to support it, so I
pulled down the version from Debian testing, but still have some problems.

MailScanner and the F-secure 4.65 version has kept the mailboxes here
free of viruses, but it seems like F-Secure 4.65 isn't even on the
product list with F-Secure anymore and even 5 is EOL May 2009 so I
thought it was time to move on instead of getting a nasty suprise one
Friday afternoon (when these things usually happen :-(

When I try sending an email it finds the virus, but the entire email is
still delivered including the virus/Eicar file.

I've search most (I think) of web/wiki pages without finding anything
about this

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
Nils O. Bekken
