Since I updated from FC2 to FC3 the clamassassin and clamav software is causing
my mail messages to be duplicated many times. I didn't know wheather this was
caused by fetchmail, sendmail, spamassassin or clamav clamassin software. So I
decided to disable calls to these packages from my .procmailrc rules. (Not
fetchmail or sendmail of course). I started with clamassassin first. After
commenting out the rules in the .procmailrc file for clammassin I found that
this behaviour stopped.

Does anyone have a clamassassin rule from .procmailrc setup that is working
correctly in FC3? Is anayone else having these types of problems using
clamav software in FC3? It would be nice to know if it's just my setup or is
anyone else is having these problems. Here is a listing of my .procmailrc file
after I commented out the clamassin rule.
