Hi Bellora,

Could you please try this and see if the virus will be detected:

formail -Y -s sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] < undetected

NB: That way you will have sent the mail to yourself, hopefully.

I am still stumped why the virus was not detected by the server!

Wait a moment - I see I have a rule to let pass even malware when
clamd is not available for some reason. Maybe this is what let the
thing pass and that would be my fault!
