According to MailScanner --lint, it is running clamav via the perl module
and properly detecting the eicar test. Note however that these days, clamd
is preferred to the clamav module.

The only problem detected is the absence of the unrar executable.

What is difference between this install's MailScanner.conf and that of
the working install? Are the MTAs the same. If the MTA is, e.g., Postfix,
have you made the necessary MTA config changes?

Are there MailScanner entries in the system mail log? Do they offer clues?
