[Clamav-users] clamav-milter (or clamd) occasionally missing viruses?

2004-03-04 Thread Ron Snyder
I've noticed that occasionally clamav-milter (from my perspective) misses some viruses, although subsequently decoding (base64) the file and then running clamscan on the .zip does successfully find the virus. My understanding of the clamav package is that clamav-milter passes the information to cla

Dns answers have been too big for udp packets, so query gets redone as tcp. Some firewalls (or fw admins) block tcp dns requests. (Although I would have expected to see a "server failed" type of message rather than "non-existent host".) Something to investigate, anyway. > -Original Message-

Here are two different captures of what the thing looks like (including the '=' at the end of the line). These are appended to "normal" spammy looking emails. (I've replaced 'object data' with 'x' so that it doesn't hit virus filters.) which decode to (respectively) http://&#= 119;ww.f

clamav-milter is "sort of" ignoring the quarantine directory because it's creating the daily directories, I'm just not finding any files in them. I've got two mail filtering gateways that both have the same versions of sendmail+clamav+clamav-milter+spamassassin, and as near as I can tell all of th
