Due to Gibe annoying me with its persistance, I installed clamscan, and
found (like others) that a large percent of Gibe messages were being
missed.

Well, it's not a clamscan bug, at least in my case.

Here's the setup I was using:

procmail -> trashscan -> clamscan

The weak link was my trashscan configuration; I had decided to use
metamail, since it was listed first.  After much careful tracing, I was
able to determined that metamail can _not_ parse some of gibe's e-mails
correctly, causing no files to be spit out, and therefore leaving nothing
for clamscan to scan!

The solution was simple; I installed uudeview and told trashscan to use
it; now all the Gibe e-mails are being properly detected.  (Aside from
those few that are truncated, which is understandable.)

I'd suggest that trashscan's support for metamail be removed, or at the
least a warning added; it's clearly not up to the task of handling modern
virii, and it's making clamscan look unnecessarily bad.

Thanks,

Mike "Silby" Silbersack
