First of all, thanks for helping me with this ! I'm going crazy here and my
server is also berserk. Thanks also for the direct cc.

# clamscan -r -l scan.txt /home/baronsam/qmailrocks/clamav-0.65
worked fine, yielded a very nice summary, it found 4 infected files which I
believe are supposed to be there.

<SILLY talk> when I send a message through, in text format, it goes through.
when I send a message through in HTML format, it doesn't, and I get the
error message in maillog. When I send a 36k text message it still goes
through, when I send a single line html format message it doesn't, and
maillog gets (at least) another line of (surprise) the same error message
</SILLY talk>

"what the hell am I doing over here ? " well, bear in mind that I am in
France, and half-french myself, and that we DO eat frog legs in this
country...so above average amounts of weirdness are to be expected

I don't know where Qmail-Scanner is running clamav from. It detected clamav
scanning on install, and supposedly configured itself to use it (as well as
spamassassin)...so I guess the next step is (once again) reinstalling
qmail-scanner... but any ideas or information about how all this fits
together would be very welcome ! supposedly I'm using qmail 1.03 with
qmailqueue patch, vpopmail, qmail-scanner 1.20, spamassassin 2.60, clamav
0.65. this is terrible : with all this reinstalling going on all the time,
I'm starting to feel like I'm back on Windows...

and... I don't want any pigs to fly out of my arse at any point. that would
probably be very painful. Although this is not a very likely event as it has
never occured up to this point.

thanks,

all best,

--sam
