greetings clamav.users;

        i use clamav 0.70-4 on debian 3.0 stable/testing, with
        amavisd-new-20030616. one of my customers has been complaining
        of recieving what they claim are Worm.Bagle.AG emails, but
        when they forward them to me, they contain nothing but an
        image file with a number in it (the 'zip password', apparently)
        and an *empty* unencrypted zip file.

        clamav has been catching lots of Worm.Bagle.AG, ever since it
        has appeared on the scene, and this is the first real report
        i have of anything slipping by it. of course, since the zip
        files in all cases so far have been actually empty, this does
        not represent a serious threat, just an annoyance. indeed, i'm
        not sure how clamav can be expected to block something that
        does not in fact contain a virus :>

        has anyone else encountered this? i can easily see a poorly
        written virus sending out botched copies of itself.

        unfortunately i have yet to recieve a copy of this myself, so
        all i have are forwards from outlook, which makes an ungodly
        mess of the email itself. however, i can provide a sample if
        anyone is interested.

        regards,
        henry
