People running freshclam from cron run it as user clamav - any output gets mailed to that user. If you actually want to see it, you need an alias.

I am not in a position to do any testing with qmail, so if you would like to make the upgrade path easy for yourself, I would like to hear your suggestions. Perhaps the easiest fix would be to make the newaliases wrapper script you use exit nonzero, but if there are other ideas, I'm willing to listen. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | sillema sillema nika su | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------
