So we're 6 months on and I've tried ASSP w/ClamAV on Windows, Ubuntu and now 
Debian.
ClamAV doesn't seem to work 'as expected' on any setup.
NOTE: I am not using the Sanesecurity signatures.

>From http://www.aleph-tec.com/eicar/index.php I send all 7 EICAR email tests.  
Of those, only 3 hit my mail server (no idea what's going on there).  Of those 3, 
none of them are detected as a virus/eicar test.  My next-level AV, however, 
detects them just fine.

However, if I copy the test text and paste it into an email message, ASSP 
detects it successfully.
It seems like ClamAV in ASSP can't detect EICAR in attachments.  Seems to 
defeat the purpose of AV if you assume that same logic applies to legitimate 
virii.

Can anyone confirm my findings or suggest a fix?

Thanks,
Alex

ASSP's log will show something like this:

Aug-11-08 08:18:43 id-06722-15989 211.29.132.183 <[email protected]
 > to: [email protected] PB-Message-Score is 45, added 45 (virus
detected: 'Email.Scam4.Gen1251.Sanesecurity.08030415')

clamd.log will show:

Mon Aug 11 08:18:43 2008 -> stream 2007:
Email.Scam4.Gen1251.Sanesecurity.08030415 FOUND

Hope this helps,

James.

Can someone share what an ASSP/ClamAV-logged virus detection looks
like?

Are other people seeing ClamAV detect Eicar successfully?
Its been a while since I've done this - but don't you have to use/
create a custom signature file for performing the EICAR test with
ClamAV?

I seem to have the same result, of the 7 tests i only receive 3:
The first message without virus, eicarpasswrd.zip and eicarpasswdocr.zip.
None of them tagged as virus and no mention of the other mails in the assp logfile.

So the next step was trying to reproduce it. I sent the test-mails to two other E-mail accounts i have without ASSP or other anti-virus/anti-spam software.
I only received 3  Emails. Seems like eicar only sends 3 mails.

I sent a mail with a question about this to Oleg Titov and wil keep you informed.

Erland.
