Version 2.7.0-pre7 contains SAVAPI Support for the Avira virusscanner.
Has anybody such a setup and can share informations howto
configure the Avira scanner ?

The daemon name is savapi, by default it daemonizes after a start.
The 'savapi -h' provides a short help. Useful options are: --config=,
--socket-file=, --socket-permissions=. For the first attempt
one may prefer to avoid it daemonizing: -N .

It is suggested to enable the following settings in its config file:
ArchiveScan=1
MailboxScan=1
HeurLevel=2

The savapi's socket must be writable for amavisd. Either adjust
socket permissions, or start it under the same UID as amavisd,
or else use the inet socket on 127.0.0.1. Also, savapi daemon
needs read access to amavis temporary/working directory.

The 'Avira SAVAPI' entry in the @av_scanners list needs to be
adjusted, matching the socket location, and supplying the
product-id license key.
