Hello, I have just joined the email list and would
like to thank everyone in advance for their help. I
have searched the archives and google until my eyes
have hurt and have waited about 10 days before
escelating my issue to this list. 

Here is my issue. I have setup
Postfix/Amavis-new/ClamAV/SpamAssassin on RedHat9,
everything from source. 

I had someone send me an email they received with
netsky.c so I could test the system. The zip file
contains the file "found_id.txt.pif". Clamd is not
detecting the virus when the file is passed via
amavis-new. I turned on the clean logging features and
verified that clamd received the file and declared it
OK. I then added the ClamAV and F-Prot command line
scanners as primary scanners in Amavis-new and sent
the message again. Clamd did not detect the virus,
neither did the command line clamscan. The F-Prot did
detect the virus as Netsky.C. If I do not scan the
message at all, Panda Platinum 7 running on my Win2k
box detects the virus as Netsky.C. The file is
definately infected with Netsky.C.

I wanted to make sure my archive scanning settings
were correct for clamd. I searched these email
archives and found that Archive support should be
turned on (it was) as well as StreamSaveToDisk (it
wasn't). I tested with StreamSaveToDisk and it still
did not find the virus.

I scanned manually using clamscan -v yep.msg (the
email message)and did not find a virus. I then ran the
F-Prot command line scanner and it did find the virus.

I checked to make sure I have been updating my
definitions correctly and I have. Last update was Mon
Feb 23 at 15:04:35 2004. (This morning)

Does anyone have any insight? Am I missing something?

Thanks again for your help.
Ian
