I get plenty of this stuff:

Sep 26 00:11:34 server MailScanner[11193]: Clamd::INFECTED:: INetMsg.SpamDomain-2m.e2ma_net.UNOFFICIAL(56c0464fb2737c4622779d0b765fb23d:29099) :: ./o8PEBTxB019677/

No, nothing at all that says "spam-virus" and I've searched all current mail logs.

Note that when this used to work, I do remember seeing the "spam-virus" responses from MailScanner in the logs.

Could this have something to do with the Clam version? I'm using 3 packages of clamav, clamav-db, clamd from RPMforge and all are 0.96.3.

Thanks.

Michael.
