[Mimedefang] Problem: Clamav-0.90 + Mimedefang 2.61

[PF]

Hi...

Clamav started reporting that a new version was out, and I should
upgrade.  I did (to 0.90), and then Mimedefang broke.

So, I upgraded Mimedefang (to 2.61).  Didn't fix the problem.  The
problem shows up as:

mimedefang.pl[32265]: Problem running virus scanner: code=226,
category=swerr, action=tempfail

I've seen worse error messages, but they didn't have english in them.

Part of my problem is that the 'lam' package (lam-7.1.1-7.FC3.i386.rpm)
was installed when I installed the new version of mimedefang.  Lam
contains a utility called 'sweep', which conflicts with the name of the
Sophos antivirus program.  Typing 'rpm -e lam' isn't enough, you also
have to edit /usr/bin/mimedefang.pl and replace '/usr/bin/sweep' with
'/bin/false'.

Second part of the problem is that clamav doesn't accept the --mbox
command line option any more; edit /usr/bin/mimedefang.pl again.

Mail is moving again, but it's not detecting viruses (like eicar.com,
renamed to eicar.aaa).  Arrrgh.. more debugging to do.
