The "problem" appears to be in the Archive::Zip perl module, which can't properly unpack the malformed zip files used by the Mimail.* worm. You could say that this isn't really a problem with the perl module, because these zip files are incorrectly formed, and you could argue that anything that actually unzips them is "broken". Regardless of the politics, the issue is that the zip files are unzippable by Windows machines, so they need to be stopped. I solved the problem by configuring my mailscanner (amavis) to use an external unzipper, instead of the perl module. The trick seems to be to cut Archive::Zip out of the loop, at least until it is "fixed".
