I'm currently using a filter that scans incoming mail during the SMTP session (runs right after <CRLF>.<CRLF>, and returns a 5xx if a virus was found).

The problem is; clamscan seems to miss a few of the tests sent from http://www.webmail.us/testvirus when done this way... most notably, test #16 (EICAR virus hidden using the "CR Vulnerability"). However if, I manually run clamscan on the message delivered to the mailbox, it then finds Eicar.

I'm using Xmail for the MTA. Xmail does add some of its own temporary data to the beginning of the temp file that is scanned by clamscan, but even when that data is removed leaving only the raw header and body received from the sender, clamscan still misses.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
--John
