Hi Peter, You are not the only one facing this problem. I am facing this problem eversince i upgraded to clamav 0.88.7 I did not face this problem in previous versions. But a search on the web shows references to this problem even in older versions. I even consulted a mailscanner expert and he feels this is definitely a bug and that he can't help.
I am using Mailscanner with clamavmodule. So i tried changing the "ClamAVmodule Maximum Compression Ratio = 0" in mailscanner.conf but still it doesn't work. Each and every zip file is getting flagged as oversized.zip. I switched to clamav instead of clamavmodule and that seems to solved the problem for now. But clamscan is taking up of lot of system resources and is not efficient as clamavmodule. So now where lies the problem - in clamav or in clamavmodule. There is also another confirmed bug in Mail::ClamAV module. The Mail::ClamAV perl module (v0.17) will not compile with ClamAV v0.90RC and will therefore break MailScanner. Hope our voice is heard by the developers. regards ks
