Sounds like clamd's not happy with the 'normal' parameter list of things to scan.

What happens if you call

clamd --tar

from the command line?

        Hi

        Looks like mailscanner is sending parameters the clamscan it doesn't
understand.

        You may wish to switch to clamd or clammodule as a faster
alternative which should also solve this problem.
