This is not really JUST a clamav issue. A lot of people start complaining to the clamav mailing list when tests from testvirus.org pass through their server. In reality it is only sometimes a clamav issue but usually not. qmail-scanner needs to have access to a mime program to be able to deal with the mime encoded messages (reformime), a binhex program to deal with the binhex encoded messages (hexbin), and an unzip program to be able to unzip messages. Make sure you have all these installed, recompile qmail-scanner (you may want to get 1.2 from sourceforge) and you will notice a decrease in the number of tests that pass through. Also, check out the TNEF package (i forget where) which will stop the microsoft outlook vulnerability tests. <SNIP> > > Is there anything wrong ? Yes, you are running outdated versions of all 3 pieces of software.
