Hello.

I'm interested in a problem concerning using scanners (actualy ClamAV scanner)
with QMail-Scanner. If I send a message localy (QMAILQUEUE set in the
/etc/profile) or get a message via SMTP remotely, QMail-Scanner first places it
into /var/spool/qmailscan/working/... directories and then uses reformime to
produce a MIME report which it places in separate directory
/var/spool/qmailscan/<localhost.domain.dom><someID>. After this, scanners are
triggered over this last directory. Is this right? Namely, in directory
/var/spool/qmailscan/<localhost.domain.dom><someID>, files holds just MIME
description and not the whole messages. So if I send a simple mail with ClamAV
test virus signature included in the body only and an optional subject, there is
no MIME parts and corresponding file in directory
/var/spool/qmailscan/<localhost.domain.dom><someID> is empty; clamscan reports a
scanned file was empty and message is claimed clean. A reciever realy gets an
infected message, which is not good. On the contrary, SpamAssassin scans
directory /var/spool/qmailscan/working/new and successfully marks suspicious
messages as spam.

I turned on DEBUG=100, viewed logs and directories and so on. 

If I run 

# test_installation.sh -doit 

the story is the same: there is Eicar.com file in
/var/spool/qmailscan/<localhost.domain.dom><someID> and is empty, so no actions
are performed. Also weird: root doesn' get any messages at all?!

Does anybody have an advise what to alter or where I made a mistake to make
Qmail-Scanner quarantine bad files?

Thank you
Zoran
