Yes, I had someone else point that out to me just yesterday actually. 
It seems there are some variations in a couple of things between the two
repo's.

Ya, that's the other one.  Petr's RPMs startup in the following
order...clamd, freshclam, clamav-milter, sendmail and that seems to work
out fine.

I seem to remember seeing something in the list here a little while ago
(at least I think it was this list) about the possibility of putting
clamav into the distro for FC2.  I don't remember much more about that
at all, but it would be nice.  

Yes, I know it's in Extras, and perhaps I'm just dense, but I can't seem
to find the rumoured big flashing neon sign that says "this way to
Fedora Extras, drop this into your sources/yum.conf file to continue". 
Then again, it has been busy for me this week, so maybe I'm just
distracted.

That one I didn't know.  Interesting.  Obviously I was mistaken in
thinking that the RPMs would have been very similar.  I personally much
prefer not bouncing mail on a virus anyway.  As in "Nothing to get
excited about, just step on it and sweep the bits into the bucket.  It
is an ugly little bugger though isn't it?"

Looks like I'm going to have to add a few bits into that doc.  Hopefully
once it's there, wherever the doc has spread to will catch the update.

Not too well I'm sorry to report.  Real life has been getting in the way
this week.  I'm still hoping to have something soon though.  Well...I
guess there's a little bit of time before the evil day star crawls it's
way into the eastern sky......now where did I save those files?
