I just setup a MailSweeper for a client yesterday and blocked VBS
files...but um...not to that level! And no, I didn't include the log
file in the inform message!

This is ridiculous! I have just had my last message rejected as being a
Vbscript virus because it had the phrase "Outlook Application" in the
plain text message body. The entire log file was also included in the
message sent to me which surely is not a good idea.
Anyone else set up Mailsweeper to be quite so severe?
The relevant entry in the log is as follows:-
13:38:09.62 (VAL:002) DetectVBS - PerformIf matched
containerclass=="Text". 13:38:09.62 (LEX:003) Found phrase Value 100,
Text "Outlook application " 13:38:09.62 (LEX:003) Total Value = 100,
Loading = 1, result = "HaveVBS" 13:38:09.62 (MSW:002) Validator
'DetectVBS' returned "HaveVBS" 13:38:09.62 (MSW:001) Validating Node '0'

A bit OTT I think!
