Sophos & ClamAV + Sanesecurity

I am seeing a similar problem except I don't run Sophos or sanesecurity signatures. I don't know when this started as in a previously version of MailScanner and ClamAv (don't know which ones) this didn't happen.

What I occasionally see is that clamav 0.95.3 finds an infection but the message never gets spam checked. Logs shows that once the infection is found, the message gets re-queued and delivered. It looks like it never gets spam checked.

I my configuration I need to strip all viruses and "Mark Infected Messages".

Anyone have any ideas?

In my configuration viruses should be replaced by a warning message but still be delivered, so the users know they got a message.

Such messages have the SpamVirus header but an empty SpamCheck header and no SpamScore. Such messages also are tagged as "Found to be infected" but the body part is not replaced.
