mailscanner not using all anti virus software

Hello,

 

I am configuring a new mailscanner cluster.  

 

The old mail scanner cluster is correctly using multiple antivirus software.
When the linter is run on the old cluster multiple virus scanners are being
used; see configuration and lint output  below.

 

The new scanner cluster is NOT using Sophos anti-virus.  I have confirmed by
debugging that /usr/lib/MailScanner/wrapper/sophos-wrapper is being
successfully called to detect Sophos.  Sophos-wrapper is NOT being called
during the virus scanning stage.  See configuration and lint output below.

 

I have successfully ran Sophos antivirus and update from the command line on
the new cluster.  Not sure where to go from here.

 

All suggestions welcome,

Danny
