I recently went to http://www.testvirus.org to test my virus scanner system: qmail 1.03, qmail-scanner 1.21, and sophie 3.04rc1. 5 out of 25 virus tests failed. Here are two that failed that are specific to sophie: Test #5 - Eicar virus sent using BinHex encoding Test #8 - Eicar virus sent using BinHex encoding within a MIME segment These two tests reveal a problem with sophie scanning BinHex encoded attachments. In /etc/sophie.savi I do have: HqxDecompression: 1 I do realize that BinHex is a Mac encoding method but this could be one that may be used in the future and I want to be proactive. Any one have any suggestions for this? Thanks, --- Ed.
