[clamav-users] ClamAV installation is OUTDATED! as reported by freshclam utility on CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core)

[Al Varnell]

OK, I'm pretty certain that field 5 of the DNS response is a flag indicating that a warning should be issued if the engine is out-of-date. It's currently set to "1". What happens if you change that value to indicate that the warning should not be issued?
