i'm not sure did you receive my zipped email source file with password
"virus". we finally add the following entry

EBT Reporter v 2.x      Virus-X-Mailer: W32/Braid-A

to the quarantine-attachments.txt. ban the .exe or README.EXE don't work.
strange problem.

..then your Sophos install doesn't detect it?

I mean, "what does the logs say"? does Q-S mention there's an attachment
called README.EXE or not? If there is, then Sophos isn't detecting it (or
reformime is broken).

Yeah - send it to me. But zip it up in a password-protected zip file first,
or GPG it with a password.

He he he. As Q-S Admin I get the bounces. I've just received two virus
alerts from some Q-S users who are using RAV SMTP scanner. It has
*INCORRECTLY* deduced that your message has a audio/x-wav attachment called
README.EXE and has blocked it.

That's pretty broken...

Amusing :-)
