Hi,
I'm using MailScanner in conjunction with ClamAV clamscan antivirus
engine. I found problem after upgrade ClamAV to version 0.94.
All looked fine (no warnings in log files), but clamscan did not scan any
file inside MailScanner.
I found problem is caused by change of clamscan-0.94 options :-(
Previous versions support options --unzip, --jar, --tar, --max-ratio and
other while clamscan-0.94 does not.
When you run "clamscan --unzip file" from command line, it writes:
clamscan: unrecognized option `--unzip'
ERROR: Unknown option passed.
ERROR: Can't parse the command line
and file does not check.
MailScanner set these options inside of wrapper/clamav-wrapper file
in ExtraScanOptions parametr.
Similar thing is in SweepViruses.pm file for --unrar option.
When I comment out setting of all these options, clamscan works inside
MailScanner again nice.
Please look at this problem - people using clamscan think they are safe,
but they are not now. Clamscan-0.94 does not check anything inside
MailScanner...
Best regards,
Milos
