Hi Nigel, I'm running clamd / ClamAV version 20030720
The august snapshot of clamav was hanging on me so I went down to the July version. Anyway, I'm going to try and send you a gzip file of a message which has an embedded virus in it, and see if your clamd catches that. I know my clamd does not, and when there are compressed files, something like a ripmime or any other mime extractor typically will not extract any mime parts from a compressed file. Which means if those are not caught by the virus scanner, they can easily go through unnoticed. I'll send you another email containing the gzip file.
