Hi dear friends,

I managed to install extremeshok on the server and that was quite a success!

In one hour we had over 150 virus-infected mails quarantined (which 
earlier would escape clamav scan).

So, the cause of the problem was in fact that virus definition databases 
were unavailable or stale, due to issues with scamp script and 
definition providers.

I had not realized that clamav main definition databases are practically 
useless!

Thank you all for your eager help to resolve this urgent problem!

Cheers,
Nick
