Over the past few days I've had a few reports of a virus getting through, and while the sig database has that virus listed (sigtool -l), I don't see any blocks in my messages log. I'm still running a slightly older version of clamav on most my boxes (0.72) since there were some issues with the newer versions over the past few weeks, though I'm thinking they may have been resolved?

My main question is, that with some of these new signatures that have been released, do they need an upgrade of the scanning engine (libclamav?) itself? I'm guessing the answer is yes, and also wondering if there is a way to include automated notification when freshclam runs perhaps. Such that if freshclam downloads a signature and if the signature has a 'engine version requirement' or some attribute that can be compared against the installed engine, if the installed engine isn't newer, give a nasty warning in the log.

Not sure if this has been discussed before, if so I appologize as I must have missed the thread.
