Hey all,
I have Xmail 1.16 on Linux with SpamAssassin and ClamAntivirus 
running with the standard filters for these programs (i.e. Lindeman's 
AV filter and Don Drake's SA filter).

In general, these filters work great, but recently we've been 
noticing a few email messages that have been not filtered, I'll give 
examples:

a) Messages that are sent within our local network or that are being 
SMTP Relayed through a server on our local network are being missed 
by the AV filter or by both filters. Sometimes these messages will be 
SA filtered without being AV filtered, but they are never just AV 
filtered.

b) Messages with encoding errors (usually b/c they have poorly 
attached virus attachments) and which are being SA filtered but not 
AV filtered

c) In a few limited cases, a well-encoded message from outside the 
network is SA filtered but not AV filtered.

Does anyone have any ideas about this? Since the filters do work 75 - 
85% percent of the time (or more) I don't really feel like going into 
debug mode is necessarily going to help: I think this is more of a 
"Why isn't this working in theory?" question than a syntax error in 
one of my filter files.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Toby
