That's normal behaviour currently in AMaViS-Perl. Wo do not send virus
notification messages to recipient(s) as it's not regarded as good
behaviour to post them in mailing lists. Maybe this will be configurable
in one of the next releases.

This is a known issue of AMaViS-Perl-7. It's fixed in CVS stuff.

See README file which Perl modules we use. Please have a look at
search.cpan.org if you're using the latest ones.

I will forward your mail also to Lars, as he is currently working on
AMaViS-Perl (I'm currently working most of my time on the "old" AMaViS
stuff)
