Mr Smith, could you please stop doing "top-posting"? Answering should be
done _under_ the previous message, not above it.
You quote a few levels of nested marketing footers of SF.net, also,
which adds junk and makes answering you harder.
Thank you. 

About the sample you sent to me: this is a message in Maildir format,
not Mailbox. As it has been already written a couple of times here
lately, clamscan does not (yet) recognizes messages other than mbox
format (but work is being done to extend '--mbox' capabilities).

After I changed your sample into mbox format (by inserting 1 line
beginning with "From [EMAIL PROTECTED]"), 'clamscan --mbox' *does*
detect Sobig.F in it. I also extracted the attachment from that message
and clamscan (without any additional option) detects Sobig.F
successfully. I use usual databases.

So I'd like to make sure: was _that particular_ sample (which you sent
to me) really allowed by a live mail system using clamav? Or you take
some infected message and manually check it with clamscan? In the latter
case, a virus will not be detected in it obviously, due to described
reason.
