The /etc/clamav/clamd.conf config file in clamav-daemon 0.96~rc1+dfsg-0ubuntu1 (Ubuntu 10.04 alpha) contains the deprecated option "MailFollowURLs":

 * Starting ClamAV daemon clamd
 WARNING: Ignoring deprecated option MailFollowURLs at line 39

What version of the package do you have? The versions mentioned in that thread are old test packages.
