Debian's ClamAV packages are OK. You can stick to them, unless you want

yourself isn't difficult but having all done with apt-get is more
convenient and quicker of course. Moreover, the problem with
self-compiled software is that someday you'll stop updating them due to
lack of time, laziness etc. and be left with outdated programs ;-) .



Thanks, I'll stay with the Debian packages. However, I'm still not picking up the EICAR test string in emails. The Clamassassin script seems straightforward - Here's the call to clamscan:

# Have ClamAV check the message and save the simple results in the log
# temp file

${CLAMSCAN} --disable-summary --stdout --mbox - < ${MSGTMP} > ${LOGTMP} \
 2> /dev/null
RESULT=$?

# If the message is clean, clamscan exits with status 0

I'm getting X-headers; clamscan finds the EICAR if run manually from the console; but EICAR is not found if in an email.

Aanyone got any ideas??  Thanks - John
