Hi

We're getting false-positives on our mail server running qmail-ldap 1.20
and Kaspersky's AVP 4.0.3.0. Every now and then, a mail gets quarantined
without being really infected, but somehow qmail-ldap & AVP think so.
We've been having these problems for about a week now (maybe before but
we hadn't realised earlier?).


This is an extract from the warning mail sent to our admin address:

Found viruses:
/var/spool/qmailscan/tmp/correo107907842148231303/orig-correo107907842148231303    
archive: Mail
/var/spool/qmailscan/tmp/correo107907842148231303/orig-correo107907842148231303/[From 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri, 12 Mar 2004 08:55:33 +0100]/text    ok.
/var/spool/qmailscan/tmp/correo107907842148231303/orig-correo107907842148231303/[From 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri, 12 Mar 2004 08:55:33 +0100]/textfile.exe    infected: 
I-Worm.Moodown.b

I've grep'ed the quarantined mail for that "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and
it's not even there at all... In fact it is a mail automatically
generated in one of our Linux servers with info extracted directly from
our DB... no way can be a virus in there.


Here's another such example:

Known viruses were detected
Found viruses:
/var/spool/qmailscan/tmp/correo10787637534829987/3-albelda_protesta.jpg    archive: ZIP
/var/spool/qmailscan/tmp/correo10787637534829987/3-albelda_protesta.jpg/topseller.com  
  infected: I-Worm.Moodown.b

I've qmail-inject'ed the mail into my maildir and the file _is_ a jpeg
and there's no way to open it using zip. And besides that, this mail was
sent from a Macintosh!


Any ideas? Anybody else has had a similar problem?
