the signatures are the really important part, after all... but i have to wonder 
why does the binary need to be updated when it is working as designed?

you DON'T want that... p3scan is a pop3 mail scanner... it uses or can clamav 
to scan the email with... we've used it on our firewall but there's a slight 
problem... not sure if it is the configuration of p3scan or not but if clamav 
is not running, p3scan will dump the email and replace it with a notice that it 
was infected... there's no recovery of the original email... i have not gone 
digging to try to figure out what, if anything, can be done so we just quit 
using it...
