I saw this plugin listed in the SA Wiki, and contacted the author listed in the Wiki about this issue. Seems he's disowned the thing, and he suggested asking here. Is anyone on the list using this plugin?

I just installed the ClamAV plugin for SpamAssassin. This is a fresh install of SpamAssassin-3.3.0-rc1 and ClamAV-0.95.3 with Postfix on CentOS 5.4. I'm using procmail via .forward to interface with SA. This server is a home server with just a few email accounts being handled on it.

SA and ClamAV both seem to be scanning email and otherwise working properly, except that the ClamAV plugin is inserting the X-Spam-Virus header twice. Messages with a virus found are showing it first with "No" and the second time with "Yes". In messages where no virus is detected, it is "No" both times. The second instance immediately follows the first. The report inserted into the header by SA only shows the ClamAV result once and only when a virus is detected, and it looks like SA properly scores it.

This is obviously not a serious problem, but it does seem odd. Is it possible that messages are being processed by ClamAV twice, the result being the double header insertion? And perhaps the first pass through does not detect a virus?

I had a previous installation of SA 3.2.5 with ClamAV 0.95-3 and Postfix that used clamsmtpd to hook ClamAV into Postfix. That setup did not display this behavior.
