[Mimedefang] Missing virus name in bounce/discard messages

[Jon R. Kibler]

Greetings:

For some reason, the virus name is missing in some bounced and/or discarded messages. I have one place in the filter code, that generates the message, and "$VirusName" appears in the code where I want the name of the virus -- as illustrated by the example below that works.

However, in some messages, such as yesterday's bugtraq digest, it bounced the message with no indication of which virus it found.

Why do we not always see the virus name in the message? We are running the latest rev of McAfee AV for Unix.
