On my Solaris 9 SPARC mailhost with clamav installed and using my Solaris 9
SPARC workstation with SylpheedClaws, I tested with the top section of the html
page from www.testvirus.org.  The virus signature file is updated twice a day.

I used the released 0.65 version, which I built on 2003-12-04, and then built
and installed the devel-20040107 version.  Both programs had the same results. 
Most virus email was caught.  There were three that passed the check on both
versions.  They are:

Nbr 4) EICAR virus sent using uuencoding
Nbr 5) EICAR virus sent using BinHex encoding
Nbr 4) EICAR virus sent using BinHex encoding within a MIME segment.

Should I be concerned about the three tests that got through?

I do not care about the second section of the test virus web page, since I do
not run OE.  I do have OE clients, but they run their own Windows anti-virus
package.

Thanks, Alex
