Several of my users have received the virus classified by ClamAV as

1.  All of my mail is scanned by ClamAV and Clam definitely recognizes
this virus.  If I take the zip attachment that comes through on these
messages and manually scan with Clam the file is marked infected.




First off, check your logs. Do you see "qmail-scanner.*CLAM.*Sober" at all? If so, then your system is catching it. If not, you should be able to search for the Subject line in the logs of an infected email, then look at the qmail-queue.log file for debug information about why it wasn't caught. However, your email implies everything is working....


...So then the next question is: are there other ways for infected mail to get onto your network? If you allow user to POP or IMAP mail directly from end-Internet mail servers onto your LAN, how do you know that's not where these infected e-mails are coming from? Webmail like Hotmail is also another source.

Just some ideas...
