Also, if the .zip file is password protected, it will ignore it as well.
And what's Trend have that we don't?

IIRC, you can configure Antigen to ignore the contents of zip files.

Here's my 2 EUR cents about these 2 applications.
I installed Antigen on one server and ScanMail on another (yes i got it
working after i applied SP2 for Ex2k).
>From what i've seen so far, neither one has the ability to block *.*
except *.zip, for example. You have the choice to either block ALL
attachments without exception, or block only the files with the
extensions you provide. A point extra goes to Antigen for not just
looking at the extension but also checking the file's headers to make
sure a .jpg isn't in fact a .exe.
But ScanMail gets the extra point for the option to set how deep
compressed files should be checked for filtered extensions, hence give
you the option to ignore zipfiles(!), unlike Antigen, which removes the
filtered extensions from compressed files also.
The viruschecking part of both apps seem to be thorough and good.
I think i'm gonna use ScanMail instead of Antigen on our main Ex2k
server though, Antigen is good but i am missing a few features that
ScanMail does have.
Well I just wanted to let you all know what I think about em, do what
you want to do with the info ;)
Now i could use a nice cold beer, preferably Palm (I think it's
Belgian).
Greets,
Bob
