Ubuntu 6.06+Postfix+MailScanner+Clamav

I have an Ubuntu 6.06 setup with mailgraph installed.  I have not been
seeing the graphs reflecting viruses that were caught.  I sent 7 instances
of eicar, mail.log reflect catching them, doing it's job and sending the
alerts to the appropriate destinations.  I do get the graphs for rejected,
bounced and spam.  When you have 16k rejects, it makes it tough to see the
415 spam but that is ok.  Virus counts are not changing.  Here is a copy of
what my logfile reflects:

I am not a programmer but I am guessing this is a simple matter of matching
the entry in maingraph.pl to match the messages I get in the log.

TIA

please stop mailscanner being lame on that it sends virus notifying to virus
senders, there is no way mailscanner can know if the email is forged or not

see this page here why http://www.t29.dk/antiantivirus.txt

want to be added there as all others ?

you can change from mailscanner to amavisd and have more then one problem solved

alone postfix mailscanner is the worst combo ever to mix
