Thanks for your response...

I did join the clamav-virusdb mail list (since 11/10/2015)
and have received *[clamav-virusdb] Update ...*
messages

Example:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ClamAV database updated (30 Nov 2015 08-36 -0500): daily.cvd
Version: 21116

Submission-ID: 1201984744
Sender: Anonymous
Added: Win.Worm.Allaple-143117
...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have been reading these as a posting of a (new) virus and
clamav support has confirmed it and added the signature to the database 
(update).

Should I have noted a submission ID when I originally posted the false 
positive reports?

Would an accepted false positive submission be noted as "Removed:" ?

Should I expect a different notification?

Thanks for any clarification.
