Hello - Fresh newbie meat here for the first time - Be gentle please...

I'm using procmail to call clamassassin, which calls clamscan. I'm getting X- headers added by clamav, but I'm not detecting the EICAR string in emails. I'm using ClamAV v0.73 obtained and installed via the Debian Sid distro. I have several questions:

1. If I run clamscan from the console in the directory containing the EICAR string, it -IS- properly detected. Why is it not being detected in email? I read somewhere that email scanning has to be enabled in clamav.conf - but I don't even have that file! Whywouldn't I? I did run the config script. In /etc/clamav, I have freshclam.conf, but not clamav.conf, and I don't find it elsewhere on the system.

2. I don't seem to have anything related to clamd - Why? How to run clamd? My system has no knowledge of clamd or clamdscan. Differences between running clamd vs clamscan? I have a low volume machine.

Thanks a bunch - Anxious to get it going!  - John
