Subject: Re: [clamav-users] EICAR file problems

Sending virus samples (including EICAR) to public mailing lists is
problematic. The lists are not testing grounds, and it can quickly
earn you a blacklisting with various recipient organisations.

I agree, I understood this a few seconds after I sent my message. My apologies.

On the other hand, if your virus scanner detected EICAR from my message, I dare to say that it is broken. http://www.eicar.org/86-0-Intended-use.html says ".. should detect it in any file providing that the file starts with the following 68 characters, and is exactly 68 bytes long". The message did not start with the EICAR string, and the message certainly wasn't 68 bytes long.

For reference, clamscan does not detect EICAR in these messages, and rightly so.
