[Avcheck] SuSE eMail Server 3.0

I have avcheck 09pre and kavdaemon 4.0.1 running on a
SuSE 8.0 server with postfix.

Now I have tried to install avcheck 0.90 and kavdaemon 4.0.1
on a SuSE eMail server 3.0 in the same way.

When AVP Daemon is startet it says:
loadbase: error in openbase ./defUnix.prf
3 times, but seems to start ok. I suppose, that this
error-message is not a problem.

I have used the manual test in readme.avp and
administrator received a virus-alert mail.

But when I configure postfix with the lines in master.cf
and writes content_filter=avcheck to main.cf through
the email-server-web-interface, the mail-system stops
working.

The message in /var/log/mail is

Aug 17 13:19:24 email postfix/master[498]: warning: process 
/usr/lib/postfix/pipe pid 1295 exit status 1
Aug 17 13:19:24 email postfix/master[498]: warning: 
/usr/lib/postfix/pipe: bad command startup -- throttling
Aug 17 13:19:24 email postfix/qmgr[1290]: warning: end of input while 
receiving string data from service private/avcheck
Aug 17 13:19:24 email postfix/qmgr[1290]: warning: private/avcheck: 
malformed response

When content_filter=avcheck is commented out, mails start
to pass through the system again but of cource without the
needed antivirus-check.

Has anybody tried avcheck with eMail Server3.0
or can help with the log-messages?
