ClamAV just scans files that are passed to it, it doesn't care what format the file is in (to a point). You need to configure the "glue" product that passes the files to ClamAV. In this case, it's ClamSMTP. No idea how to configure it, though. It may be that you can't configure it the way you want, and you'll need to look at something else (like amavisd-new or Maia Mailguard or similar). ---- Freddie Cash, LPCI-1 CCNT CCLP Helpdesk / Network Support Tech.
