No need:
bash-2.05# clamscan
/var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/20031103/hA3ABmS12759/photos.zip
/var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/20031103/hA3ABmS12759/photos.zip: File size
limit exceeded.
/var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/20031103/hA3ABmS12759/photos.zip:
Worm.Mimail.C FOUND

So, the virus is found, but another message is produced about a file
size limit.

Then from MailScanners log:
Nov  3 11:12:02 maas MailScanner[6304]: ProcessClamAVOutput: unrecognised line 
"/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/6304/./hA3ABmS12759/photos.zip: File size limit 
exceeded.". Please contact the authors! 
Nov  3 11:12:02 maas MailScanner[6304]: (raw) 
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/6304/./hA3ABmS12759/photos.zip: Worm.Mimail.C FOUND 

But the unrecognized line of output makes MailScanner ignore ClamAV's result.

Now the problem: what limit is this refering to, and how should it be
changed? Both StreamMaxLength and ArchiveMaxFileSize are set to 10M,
much bigger than the infected file (which is only 12958 bytes).

I'm running ClamAV 20030829. Will upgrading to the latest snapshot solve
this problem?
