Package: exim4-daemon-heavy
Version: 4.85-3
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

I use following line in my exim config for av_scanner
    av_scanner = cmdline: /usr/bin/bdscan_exim_wrapper %s: infected: (.+)
The wrapper is a simple bash script. If I exit the script with "exit 0"
all is fine. If I exit the script with "exit 1", I'll get the following
line in /var/log/exim4/mainlog:
    "malware acl condition: cmdline: scanner returned error code: 256"
If I exit the script with "exit 2", I'll get these line in log:
    "malware acl condition: cmdline: scanner returned error code: 512"

I think the bug is in src/malware.c 
    sep = pclose(scanner_out);
This should be:
    sep = WEXITSTATUS(pclose(scanner_out));

This is a patch for 4.85

-       sep = pclose(scanner_out);

        signal(SIGCHLD,eximsigchld); signal(SIGPIPE,eximsigpipe);
        if (sep != 0)
            return m_errlog_defer(scanent,

I don't know how to attach this as a file?!?

Apologize if I have made false or erroneous information, this is my
first bug report
