Ole,
I was having the opposite problem. well, kind of. I originally
configured my filter to use CLAMAV instead of CLAMD (mostly because the
filter fails and then discards mail if clamd isn't accessible via the
socket), and although it was catching the virus, it wasn't returning any
name into $VirusName. I configured CLAMD and changed the filter to use
CLAMD and now it's working properly (and returning a value into $VirusName)
I'm not sure how to get the filter times into the syslog like that however,
i'd be willing to help in anyway I can.
