OK - fixed.

Hah! Unfortunately you've hit a design decision I made. I designed it to
always put clamAV is front for exactly the same reason as yours - but in
reverse. I wanted to know how many viruses clamAV missed compared with
the commercial scanners. If it was  <10%, then it implies we are paying
a lot of money for AVs that aren't as good as a free product :-)
However, I'll see what I can do in the next release (2.07).

I have uploaded qmail-scanner-2.06-rc2 with the fixed fpscan detection.
Can you let me know if that fixes F-prot support?
