Note that many of the above tests do not involve sending a virus, or a
pseudo-virus such as the Eicar test string; therefore it should not be
considered surprising if an Anti-Virus filter does not get triggered by them.
I'm not saying the tests are useless; I'm just giving a bit more information
which I think is not at all obvious from the virustest.org website (and,
considering their domain name, should be made more clear IMHO).
