I have a strange situation which I can't explain.

I have an Internet-facing front-end server using exim with ClamAV.  I also have 
the Sanesecurity signatures installed. Delivery is achieved by relaying to an 
Exchange server which is behind the firewall.

Some users have re-direction set up so that the Exchange server passes messages 
back to the front-end server for onward transmission. Note, this is 
re-direction, not forwarding, so the messages just have an extra Received: line 
added to the header.

Several times per day I see messages to some of these users being rejected by 
ClamAV as they are being received back from the Exchange server for 
re-direction!

That means that the messages have been cleared by ClamAV as they arrive from 
the Internet but are then rejected a few seconds later when returning! So far 
they have all been Sanesecurity signatures which have caused this.

One thought is that Exchange could possible be re-writing attachments, but that 
would mean that ClamAV is sensitive to the way in which attachments are encoded.

Any ideas?

Phil.
