What is test 27 that it let through ?
hmmm how odd, they sent me 3 emails for each test I did, one for clamav and one for Kaspersky Here is the body of the first one: begin 600 eicar.com <snip>removed this, my virus scanner stops it</snip> end This message was sent to you because you or someone you know is testing your mail server's virus scanner at: http://www.webmail.us/testvirus This test message contains: Test #27: Eicar virus within a ZIP file that has been manipulated to evade detection by some anti-virus software by changing the uncompressed size to zero within the ZIP file headers. If your mail server's virus scanner did not detect this email, it allows some viruses through! Please note: This test message uses the EICAR test virus, which is completely benign and contains no viral code. For more information see: http://www.eicar.org This free test has been provided to you by Webmail.us. > > > While I was at it, I tested Kasperky AV against the same tests and it let > > No 27 through too. > > > > > > GPL is doing just fine here :-) > > > > > > -- > > ----------------- > > Bob Hutchinson > > Midwales dot com > > ----------------- > > _______________________________________________ > > http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html -- ----------------- Bob Hutchinson Midwales dot com ----------------- _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
