Subject: Re: MailScanner 4.78.17 doesn't detect viruses, have checked
tmp permissions and no symlink, reinstalled clamav (worked in 4.77.10)
Check your virus.scanners.conf file to ensure it is pointing at the
correct place for clamav.
If "which clamscan" reports /usr/local/bin/clamscan then the clamav line
in virus.scanners.conf should end in "/usr/local" and if it reports
/usr/bin/clamscan then the line should end in "/usr".
That would be the first place to look. Then "MailScanner --lint" should
detect the EICAR test pattern successfully. Once "MailScanner --lint"
works, you're there.

Jules, thanks for the reply!
I checked "which clamscan" and yes it does point to
/usr/local/bin/clamscan. The clamav line in virus.scanners.conf does end
in /usr/local. Still no lint under 4.78.17, but works fine under
pervious versions on the same box. Using clamav-wrapper to do a scan of
/tmp gives me sensible output however.

<pre wrap="">Hello,
I've just upgraded to 4.78.17 and now mailscanner doesn't report
viruses detected by clamav in production or lint. I've scanned the
/tmp directory with clamav-wrapper and get sensible clam output. /tmp
is not symlinked. I've reinstalled clamav, and manually reinstalled
all the per-tars from the install directory. I've even tried
downgrading MIME-tools to 5.420 (as found on another post), but to no
effect (and since reinstalled from perl-tar to 5.427). I've removed
and reinstalled Perl5.8.9, also to no effect. I'm running MS4.78.17,
SA3.2.5, Clam0.95.3, sendmail 8.14.3 on FreeBSD7.0p9, w/ mailwatch
1.0.4, apache13, mysql5077, php5, virtualized through VMWare VSphere
4.0. I've switched back to 4.77.10 as this properly identifies virii.
I'm out of ideas - Any suggestions? Is there something else I need to
check, or something else I missed?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. Thanks a million to Julian Field for a fantastic solution to the
deluge of spam we had grown accustomed to.

This may be totally unrelated but I had a similar problem like this at
one point. It turned out that the perl I was running had version 0.16
of perl-File-Temp builtin and the version that came packaged with
MailScanner was 0.19. When perl was updated v0.19 was removed. I
ended up having to do a rpm --force on the version that came packaged
with MailScanner.<br>
<br>
This is all from vague memories and I may not have the scenario exactly
right. It took me a while to find it though. Check the version of
File::Temp that you are using. I know that once I got the correct
version installed MailScanner --lint started producing expected results
with my virus scanners.<br>
