I have qmail-scanner installed using Sophos sweep and SpamAssassin.
When I run the test_installation script,
the innocuous mail arrives
the EICAR.COM e-mail is caught (presumably by perlscanner) and I get a message indicating this
the attached file with the EICAR test virus is caught (this would have to be by sweep) and I get a message indicating this
the spam gets through, probably because I haven't configured spamassassin properly just yet (that's fine, I can investigate that later).
Here's the strange thing, though -- if I send myself an e-mail from an external host (say my Yahoo account) containing or attaching a text file containing the EICAR test virus, qmail just delivers it. Same if I mail the file from a local account. If I scan the file with sweep, it detects the EICAR virus.
So what gives? Why is my test_installation script telling me it is working, when my real-world test seems to indicate otherwise?
Cheers
Stephen
