This may be an old problem, because someone on the sophie list told me to
look in the archives of qmail-scanner.  I haven't found anything yet, and
want to bring up the subject again.  Sophie misses the w32.brid.a virus
which is a variant of Funlove.  I contacted Sophos, and this is the response
I received:

------
Hello Trey-
   Sophos is in the process of fixing the virus scanning engine for Linux
in order to detect this virus.  This fix is needed due to the virus having
malformed mail headers.   MailMonitor for Solaris and MailMonitor for NT
have been fixed, but we are still working on the Linux version.   The IDE
for this virus is available, but it is the engine itself that needs to be
fixed.

Thank you,
Karen Serevitch

------
I sent another email asking about an ETA on a fix, but they do not have one.
Someone on the sophie list suggested changing to ripmime to help catch it.
Does that do it? Are there any other problems created?

I have added the following line to our quarantine-attachments.txt file, but
I don't have any samples of this virus, so I'm not sure if it is working.
README.EXE              114687  Funlove

(yes, it's TAB delimited)


This virus is spreading around town VERY rapidly here, so any
comments/suggestions would be appreciated.

Trey Nolen
