Thank you so much for your help. A couple more questions:

I am intimated by the discussion about 2.30 new features. I will upgrade 
once I get the hang of it.

I will try that.

Well, I don't have to have separate logs for vscan I guess, just want to 
make sure it scans each file against the updated signature file.  I am 
still learning to read logs generated by mimedefang.  I tried to use 
local4.log, but didn't work.

Here is my syslog.conf entry:
local4.debug    /var/log/local4.log

mimedefang-filter entry:
md_log_enable('local4');

Did I miss something?

Thanks again.
