No, that doesn't mean so :-) . Amavis itself decodes MIME, unpacks archives and so on. Scott, on Friday you wrote that you used Amavis-new (most probably you meant Amavisd-new (note "d")), now you're writing that Amavis-ng. AFAIK, Amavis-ng is other piece of software than Amavisd-new. Anyway, all of them perform decoding and unpacking. If you want to be sure, the best way is to check it by yourself :-) . With ScanArchive disabled, prepare a few test messages with some known viruses (or EICAR test viruses) packed, zipped and so on, send them to yourself and observe whether they are detected. -- Tomasz Papszun SysAdm @ TP S.A.
