It means that a header within the email is syntactically wrong, and that 
clamAV has

made a guess at what it should be.



I was able to track the warning down to the offending file which, as you 
said, was an e-mail that did not properly specify the charset.  Thanks 
for your help.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?


 It is not a problem, it is a warning that you can ignore, unless a virus
 has slipped though
 unnoticed, in which case you must submit it to www.clamav.net.


Can you tell me what the warning means?  If a virus had slipped through,
how would I be able to check since the warning does not specify to which
file it belongs?

 I read this in the archives, but am unsure of the steps necessary to
 resolve this issue.

For MUA authors to only accept RFC compliant emails, then virus writers
won't exploit that loop hole.

 Thanks,

LibClamAV Warning: Ignoring empty field in  charset=

  When trying to scan some messages in my quarantine directory, i
 am getting
  the following output:
 
  LibClamAV Warning: Ignoring empty field in  charset=

  Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this?

 Virus writers don't honour RFCs (what a surprise!)


hehe i thought this was the cause (malformed messages) but i wasnt sure.
Thanks for clarifying.
