Hi William, In all honesty I would find a way to upgrade the antivirus. I just upgraded to 0.83 on Mandrake 10 and it is running fine. They seem to do this from time to time to force you to upgrade as often they are fixing security bugs. Is Mailscanner locked to 0.7 or any version?

On googling, I got to know that it is brought about because a newer version of clamAV is available (cool!) but all the ways of updating that I found out were for rpm based installations. Unfortunately for me, I used the tar.gz from clamav.net and so far all indicators are for a re-install. Now I wouldn't like to tinker with this system so I am wondering whether anyone has had this problem before and could give me some guidelines on how to proceed. My worries are further compounded by the fact that I am also running a tar.gz installation of MailScanner that is relying on this clamAV installation! Any suggestions? The error is here below: ===========================Begin error message====================== postmaster1:~ # freshclam ClamAV update process started at Mon Mar 14 14:38:21 2005 SECURITY WARNING: NO SUPPORT FOR DIGITAL SIGNATURES Connecting via xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Reading CVD header (main.cvd): OK main.cvd is up to date (version: 30, sigs: 31086, f-level: 4, builder: tkojm) WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED - please update immediately !
