Hi Nelson

It is not an error.. It is a protection. QS blocks attachement that 
have two extensions like 'rtf.doc' or 'doc.exe' as they can incluede 
a 0 day virus. Version 2.05 manages this kind of files better than 
version 1.25, for example version 2.05 does not block a file with 
extensions 'doc.rft' as it can't be dangerous.

The other point about spamassassin not scoring a message is about the 
size of the message, spamassassin (and also QS) does not scan a file 
bigger than 250K. You can change this behavior configuring both 
(spamassassin and QS) to accept bigger messages.
