Ah, I see now - messages from the library don't use the standard output functions, and so they ignore switches given to programs. This is likely a bug in implementation. I will pass this upstream. In the meantime, in the amavis config, when you call clamscan on a message, redirect stderr to stdout (2>&1 or so - I don't use amavis, but that would be the shell construct to do so). Or just clamdscan - messages from the library are suppressed then, and you won't have this problem. You should be relying on regex matching (FOUND) rather than exit status to check what clam is doing - otherwise you end up ouncing mail if clam is in a wierd state.
