Dear Jeff,
I don't know what 'qmailctl cdb' is doing in your Linux(since qmail is over-patched nowdays) but i believe is touching ONLY the qmail tcprules. This means simscam cdbs and not generated/updated when is needed.
Basically for simscan you need to run:
/var/qmail/bin/simscanmk (path might be diff) to generate simcontrol.cdb which basically contains: if clamav is used, if spamassassin is used, which files you don't accept, etc
AND
/var/qmail/bin/simscanmk -g(path might be diff) will generate the simversions.cdb which contains the versions of clamav and spamassassin.
Long story short, you most probably forgot to run simscanmk -g .
PS:I love qmail, is quite simple, good security but unfortunately is quite difficult to maintain a very good email server with it today. You are missing a lot of functionalities (or you need to be very creative about which patch you apply, in which stage). Unfortunately from my point if view hist simplicity is now a headache. Please consider using more up-to-date MTA(exim,postfix). Just think about it.
PPS: sorry for my deviation from the subject :) I know we are on clamav mailing-list :)
Hi
It appears clamscan is using the latest signature database. We needed to run 'qmailctl cdb' to update the signatures being included in logs and email headers. Once that was done the signature file version 25931 was reported. Seems strange that the clamscan logs needed to get that information from qmail's simversions.cdb file.
I ran 'clamconf' - it reports the
Database information
--------------------
Database directory: /var/lib/clamav
daily.cld: version 25931, sigs: 4319278, built on Thu Sep 17 09:53:56 2020
bytecode.cld: version 331, sigs: 94, built on Thu Sep 19 12:12:33 2019
main.cld: version 59, sigs: 4564902, built on Mon Nov 25 08:56:15 2019
Total number of signatures: 8884274
Thanks, Jeff

The freshclam logs show daily.cvd signature file version 25930 is installed but simscan: clamscan currently shows version 25920 being used. How do I get clamscan to use the latest version downloaded?
First take a look through the output of 'clamconf', it might shed some light.
