[Mimedefang] uvscan virus scan failing

[Todd Aiken]

Greetings.  I am running Mimedefang 2.33 and Spamassassin 2.54, along with 
the latest version of Mcafee's uvscan.  As of yesterday morning, the 
system started tempfailing all incoming mail due to a problem with the 
virus scanner.  In my log files, I see that the scanner is failing with 
code=8, which according to the uvscan man page, means that "The program 
could not find a DAT file."  However, I can cd to /usr/local/uvscan and 
see that all of the DAT files are there, and running uvscan to scan files 
produces no problems (an "echo $?" command also returns a zero).  But, 
oddly enough, when I rollback the DAT files to an earlier version, 
Mimedefang is happy... it just does not like the latest DAT files version 
4265.  Just wondering if anybody else is having this same problem?  
Nothing else on my mail server was touched since this started happening.

Thanks.
