Hi list!

I have a very strange problem...
By some E-Mails (no template found) the sender will be notified that the E-Mail contains a virus, but the recipient receives the E-Mail.

Some words about our configuration: we have three Antivirus (Kasperski, Avast and ClamAV). If at least one of these programs reports that the E-Mail is infected, the E-Mail should be rejected.
And it happens in the most cases! But sometimes not...

So I tried with an E-Mail we received yesterday. The E-Mail contains an encrypted Excel and Avast refused the E-Mail since the file is password protected (OK, the file is clean, I'm sure of that! And Avast should NOT refuse the E-Mail, but this is not my problem now). After that Exim refuse the E-Mail with an error 5xx, but process the E-Mail with the routers, so that a copy of the E-Mail will reach the recipient.

I tried with exim -bh. I see:

deny: condition test succeeded in ACL "acl_check_data"
end of ACL "acl_check_data": DENY
unspool_mbox(): unlinking '/var/spool/exim4/scan/1lEsvz-0001D5-H1/1lEsvz-0001D5-H1-00000' unspool_mbox(): unlinking '/var/spool/exim4/scan/1lEsvz-0001D5-H1/1lEsvz-0001D5-H1-00002' unspool_mbox(): unlinking '/var/spool/exim4/scan/1lEsvz-0001D5-H1/1lEsvz-0001D5-H1-00001' unspool_mbox(): unlinking '/var/spool/exim4/scan/1lEsvz-0001D5-H1/1lEsvz-0001D5-H1.eml'
552-PVC05 - This message contains a virus (Archive is password protected) -
552 Scanned by Avast

but the somehow exim process the E-Mail further and sends it to my mailbox... An important consideration, too: we use Ciphermail to encrypt/decrypt the E-Mails, so we have two queues and Exim identifies the E-Mails coming from Ciphermail using the received_port. It seems that, after "denying" the E-Mail, this will be sent to Ciphermail and after Ciphermail processed it, it returns to Exim and will be saved in the Mailbox.

Could someone help me finding the problem?

Thanks a lot
