Still, about 4-5 times a day, NAV detects [EMAIL PROTECTED] I repeat,
NAV/Exchange server is behind my RH Linux/ClamAV machine which is
supposed to do all filtering (AV/Spam) until it passes the mails to the
Exchange. I saved a copy of the worm detected by NAV and submited to
COSS which detects it as SomeFool.P. Further more, I resent the worm
copy from a different location back to the ClamAV server which, this
time, detects it! Same thing happens with SomeFool.Q. These 2 worms are
the reason for keeping NAV as backup scanner...



I bet if you check the headers of a message that made it "past" your ClamAV machine, you'll find it never actually went through that machine. Probably some virus is sending directly to your Exchange server. This might be because it's coming from an infected machine within your network, or maybe because the exchange server is a backup MX for your clamav server. Either way, checking the headers to see where the specific message went would be a good starting point.

As I said, here are the headers of an infected mail:

backup.ccina.ro is the Linux/ClamAV machine. Generally, ClamAV stops this kind of messages...
