OK - sorry. I am just very confused here and don't want to confuse any
steps which could break anything I already have working.

How are the packages listed from the above repo different from the
ones I have from Etch or Backports?

email:/etc/amavis/conf.d# apt-cache policy clamav
clamav:
  Installed: 0.93.1.dfsg-1.1~bpo40+1
  Candidate: 0.93.1.dfsg-1.1~bpo40+1
  Version table:
 *** 0.93.1.dfsg-1.1~bpo40+1 0

OK - that is fine.

Sorry, I am running Etch. I posted output from the wrong server
yesterday. I am 100% running Debian Etch (Stable).

I checked that file "15-content_filler_mode" and I have some lines
there but they're all commented out. I am also confused because I was
told that "50-user" is the last config file to load so anything I add
in "50-user" will over ride the other config files. Am I missing
something here or not understanding something? I am still struggling
to understand Debians approach to multiple config files rather than a
simple /etc/amavis.conf file. If my amavisd-new config is all listed
in "50-user", should I still follow your suggestion and make changes
to "15-content_filler_mode" to get Clamav working?
