Dear Jeff,
I don't know what 'qmailctl cdb' is doing in your Linux(since qmail is
over-patched nowdays) but i believe is touching ONLY the qmail tcprules.
This means simscam cdbs and not generated/updated when is needed.
Basically for simscan you need to run:
/var/qmail/bin/simscanmk (path might be diff) to generate simcontrol.cdb
which basically contains: if clamav is used, if spamassassin is used,
which files you don't accept, etc
AND
/var/qmail/bin/simscanmk -g(path might be diff) will generate the
simversions.cdb which contains the versions of clamav and spamassassin.
Long story short, you most probably forgot to run simscanmk -g .
PS:I love qmail, is quite simple, good security but unfortunately is
quite difficult to maintain a very good email server with it today. You
are missing a lot of functionalities (or you need to be very creative
about which patch you apply, in which stage). Unfortunately from my
point if view hist simplicity is now a headache. Please consider using
more up-to-date MTA(exim,postfix). Just think about it.
PPS: sorry for my deviation from the subject :) I know we are on clamav
mailing-list :)

Once that was done the signature file version 25931 was reported. Seems strange that the clamscan logs needed to get that information from qmail's simversions.cdb file.
