Ok done - will have to wait and see now !! One thing I noticed - with the
old files, in the clam log it said:
Fri Aug 22 10:49:51 2008 -> Loaded 709009 signatures.
With the new defs, it now says:
Fri Aug 22 13:57:41 2008 -> Loaded 1113131 signatures.

Does that figure sound right ? If it is then it certainly indicates the
originals were corrupt after all.

Yeh - that was part of the problem with me getting it running in the first
place !!

I noticed that actually, so rather than playing around with config more than
I had to I created what it wanted !

Many thanks for the suggestions - I will be back for more if it still does
it !!

All the best
