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.
