Okay, I've applied the patch to Amavis indicated on one of those posts, and
replaced my qmail-local and qmail-remote binaries with symlinks to the
scanmails binary, as the post dictated.
Still, however -- the EICAR.COM virus goes right through. I'm attaching the
EICAR.COM virus to this post (it's 69 bytes) to see if it sets any other
alarms off. That's a good way to tell who's using it. :)
For those not familiar with EICAR, it's a TEST for virusscanners. It
doesn't actually DO anything, it isn't really a VIRUS, and it WON'T hurt
you.
Although, it does crash Windows Millennium quite handily.
