Thanks. I'll go for it.

Hi, Had this problem too, even more clamav (x86) wasn't working with qmail-scanner at all. Went to ~x86 and it works. Maybe 0.85.1 should be made stable, not just as a warning ;) HTH.

Thanks for the feedback. I may give it a try here. x On Sun, 29 May 2005, Robert S wrote: Yes, I saw that - but it's masked for some reason and I hesitate to install it until it's unmasked as I assume it's masked for a reason. I was wondering if there was anything else I could or needed to do. I guess I'll wait until 0.85 is unmasked. I've been using 0.85/0.85.1 and now 0.85.1-r1 with no problems. I always used to use the latest version compiled from source before I started using gentoo. Never had any problems related to the version. The clamav-milter startup script has been improved and the pid and socket files have been moved to a much more logical place. Expect to do a small amount of fiddling.

Re: [gentoo-user] Clamav out of date
Yes, I saw that - but it's masked for some reason and I hesitate to install it until it's unmasked as I assume it's masked for a reason. I was wondering if there was anything else I could or needed to do. I guess I'll wait until 0.85 is unmasked. On Sun, 29 May 2005, Peter Ruskin wrote: On Saturday 28 May 2005 23:53, Brett I.
