>From the looks of the E-mail from MailSweeper it looks like they are
blocking Vbscript-ing language NOT VBS files.

Subject: VBS Blocking
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' - '' ''
13:38:09.62 (MSW:002) Attribute 'AttachmentSize' = 4043
13:38:09.62 (MSW:002) Attribute 'NodeId' = '0'
13:38:09.64 (LEX:003) Total Value = 0, Loading = 1, result = "" 13:38:09.64
(MSW:001) Following disposal route "VBSFile". 13:38:09.64 (MSW:002)
Quarantine disposal 13:38:09.84 (MSW:001) Message quarantined in "Blocked
Messages" as entry "A0011217".
A bit OTT I think!
