Hi again,

Sorry if I sound repetitive, but my problem is not the virus scanner. It
works fine for all kinds of mail attachments. My problem is that ASSP
does not start the virus scanner for the EICAR test mails. It just lets
them through without even calling the virus scanner. In other words, no
matter what virus scanner I would use - ASSP does not start it for the
EICAR testmails.

An example - first I send myself an empty email with an attached pdf
file:

-------
Oct-2-09 22:36:13 143.50.13.36 <[email protected] > to:
[email protected] diagnostic: FileScan will run command -
c:/assp/virusscan.bat 2>&1
Oct-2-09 22:36:19 143.50.13.36 <[email protected] > to:

-------

As you can see, ASSP starts the external scanner (clamscan) to check the
mail, which is found to be virus free and is delivered to the recipient
[email protected]. One minute later, I use the free service at
http://www.aleph-tec.com/eicar/index.php to send myself some EICAR virus
test files:

-------
Oct-2-09 22:37:16 [MessageOK] 38.96.163.23 <[email protected]> to:
[email protected] MESSAGE OK [EICAR anti virus test file];
Oct-2-09 22:37:16 [MessageOK] 38.96.163.23 <[email protected]> to:
[email protected] MESSAGE OK [EICAR anti virus test file];
Oct-2-09 22:37:17 [MessageOK] 38.96.163.23 <[email protected]> to:
[email protected] MESSAGE OK [EICAR anti virus test file];
-------

As you see, these messages pass through ASSP without triggering a virus
check (and sure enough, are delivered to my inbox with the virus test
file intact).

Can somebody tell me where the problem lies? Can you test sending
yourself some testmails from http://www.aleph-tec.com/eicar/index.php
(only takes a few seconds), just to see whether this is a general ASSP
problem or whether this is specific to my installation?

Cheers,
Stefan.
