[Mimedefang] Installed FPScan and it's just hanging and then timing out.

[mimedefang at bass-speaker.com]

That's the bit I don't get - Emulating the call as MD does it, worked, even without the terminal etc, it was only when called from MD that it failed :(

Thanks and Regards,

Mack

Thanks, Steffen.  I will make that change.

WHY do software developers write virus-scanners that assume interactivity by default?  I mean how many people actually invoke their virus scanners directly from a terminal?
