FYI ALL: Fwd: [Clamav-announce] announcing ClamAV 0.94

[Rick Cooper]

Note:

If you happened to forget to remove PhishingRestrictedScan from your
clamd.conf when the option was removed in 0.93.1(?), as I did, clamd will
not start and it will emit no error (unless you run in foreground manually)
or reason. Remove the PhishingRestrictedScan line from clamd.conf and
everything will be fine.
