We are running ClamAV 96.5 on Slamd64 machines with freshclam
running every hour to update the virus database; Besides the
official ClamAV database, we also download those from
Sanesecurity, SecurityInfo, MalwarePatrol once a day.The
servers run sendmail 8.14.3 with mimedefang 2.66 calling ClamAV.
All messages are scanned and delivered if they are virus-free;
if detected as virus-laden, the messages will be quarantined in
a specific sub-directory on the same mail servers where we can
retrieve to examine, if necessary.

Some users have their mail forwarded to an account on another
system where Sophos is being used. Since October 28, we have
been notified by the mail administrator of that system some
messages forwarded from our mail servers are detected by
Sophos (running on their mail server) as infected with
Mal/Phish-A . Unfortunately, we do not have the infected
messages since they are considered  "clean" by ClamAV on
our mail servers and their mail server does not keep a copy
of infected messages.

We are wondering if anyone else also experience this kind of
problem. As ClamAV et al. name viruses differently from Sophos,
we don`t know for sue if ClamAV is detecting Mal/Phish-A .

Thank you very much for all your help/suggestions.
