Hi,

we have been running amavisd for quite some time, never really changing 
the setup but just upgrading amavisd and here and there adjusting small 
bits.
Since one of the last upgrades (not sure which it was exactly) amavisd 
finds a lot more viruses than before. We have a no-EXE policy in place, 
disallowing EXEs even in zips, only in an encrypted ZIP it would be OK. 
With this policy, we had virtually no virus detections because amost 
nothing was allowed anyway. Now we still have this policy - I verified 
that I cannot send an EXE, not even in a zip file - but still we get 
hundreds of virus notifications per day for files with "exe in zip". Has 
the order of checking changed generally, or might it depend on using 
"new style" banned file types lookup versus "old style"? - That's one of 
the things I changed some time ago... current amavis version is 2.6.1.
