Amavis virus detection
Hi, I've just installed SuSE 8.1 with Postfix and Amavis and have tried sending the eicar.com virus pattern in an attachment. This worked great - the virus was detected and blocked. However, I also tried sending a copy of Bugbear to one of my own users externally via a web-based email service, (onetel - similar to hotmail, et al), and this was sent through to the user without being blocked :( The message headers contains the entry X-Virus-Scanned: by AMaViS 0.3.12pre8 Any ideas, anyone?

Hi! Which virus SCANNER have you installed? Is it uptodate? I use MCAfee uvscan and an auto-pdate script. BugBear doesn't go through!
