[Mimedefang] If I have file::scan & clamAV installed, are they both used?

[Lucas Albers]

Read mimedefang-filter and think about how ti works adn you will
understand where to put it.

Here is some sample code to use both:
put in:
sub message_contains_virus ()


     if ($Features{'Virus:FileScan'}) {
        ($code, $cat, $act) = message_contains_virus_filescan();
        #action_change_header("X-Virus-Scanned by FileScan");
        if ($act ne "ok"){
        md_syslog('warning', "Running Virus Scanner Filescan Detected
$code ");
        }
        return (wantarray ?  ($code, $cat, $act) : $code) if $act ne "ok";
    }

      if ($Features{'Virus:CLAMAV'}) {
        ($code, $cat, $act) = message_contains_virus_clamav();
        #action_change_header("X-Virus-Scanned by CLAMAV");
        if ($act ne "ok"){
        md_syslog('warning', "Running Virus Scanner CLAMAV Detected $code");
        }
        return (wantarray ? ($code, $cat, $act) : $code) if $act ne "ok";
     }
     return (wantarray ? (0, 'ok', 'ok') : 0);
}

Sample file::scan update script:
put in /etc/cron.daily (on linux)

perl -e 'use CPAN; install File::Scan;' 2>1 1>/dev/null


File scan is the default, and the default is to only use on virus scanner.
