Yes, I have searched for multiple copies, and there's only one clamd in
any bin.

This issue isn't urgent, Mailscanner/clamd are working fine picking up
infected msgs.

The double clamd mention in ..

'MailScanner.conf says "Virus Scanners = auto" Found these virus scanners
installed: clamd, clamd, sophossavi'

 .. has me a little over curious

When Mailscanner 'searches' for scanners [when set to 'auto'], any idea
what/where/how it looks?

Cheers!
Dave
