I looked more intot his and found that within the amavisd.conf file I do not have any primary scanners installed. Looking further down, I notice there is a section for the back up scanners. Since I have the ClamAV installed, I moved it up into the primary section. Running subsequent tests, I do not see the failure message I mentioned before. eric _______________________________________________ http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users
