MailScanner and Auto Update Virus definitions?



Hej,

I am in the process of installing MailScanner with ClamAV and F-Prot as antivirus solution on my Sarge installation.

I have seen that MailScanner should deal with the auto update of the virus definitions, but I can not figure out if it is working or if I have missed something.

Question
--------
Am I supposed to manually start a cron job running the
	/etc/MailScanner/autoupdate/f-prot-autoupdate
	/etc/MailScanner/clamav-autoupdate

When I run these scripts manually the log file (/etc/log/mail.log) indicates that virus definition has been updated.
(Had to change a path in clamav-autoupdate first)

The /etc/cron.d/f-prot-installer script indicates that MailScanner should be run instead of f-prot-installer cron job.

Question
--------
Will f-prot-autoupdate also update the f-prot engine?
	(/usr/sbin/update-f-prot)

Question
--------
Ok, perhaps I should ask a simple and direct question instead.
How do I turn on auto update of virus definitions and f-prot engine on a Sarge installation (updated from a very very mini Woody)

Thanks in advance

/Bengt
