I know about that, but I don't want to disable this globally :)

I the meantime I also got feedback from Sophos support. There is a new
version of Stuffit out there and Sophos hasn't yet got the new specification
so the new compression/encoding is not supported yet.

Found it *only* in the comment of the (altervative) sophie.savi file in the
description for "GrpArchiveUnpack". This is "1" so Stuffit scanning also
gets set.
However I didn't find in sophie-3.05 a special "Stuffit" Option (neither
in sav_if/savitype.h nor savitype_extended.h) and I can't find it in the
SAV Interface configuration docs (they seem to have vanished from the
documentation section at sophos.com so I am stuck with a somewhat dated
version).
But you are right, "sophie -c" reports Stuffit and it is accepted as a
config option. I'll give it a try and see what happens ;-)

Thanks,
