Yep, there is a little bit of a dirty hack for amavisd-new. --snip Update your amavisd-new: Patch: amavisd-new-20030616-p7 - do_unzip and do_unrar: retain an archive if any of its components is password protected or encrypted (plus unpack what can be unpacked, as before). This gives virus checkers a chance to examine the original unpacked archive as a whole (e.g. scanning for variants of W32/Mimail), matching it in non-decoded form against virus patterns even if containing password-protected components. As a consequence, some virus scanners may now log their complaint when encountering such protected archives which previously didn't reach them. Such log entries should be considered informational only; plus (if needed) apply the patch to preserve the original mail for virus scanners to see, by Ted Cabeen or me, posted today. --snap If you like to patch by hand: --snip Adding qr'^MAIL$' to $keep_decoded_original_re in amavisd.conf : $keep_decoded_original_re = new_RE( qr'^MAIL$', # retain full original message for virus checking qr'^(ASCII(?! cpio)|text|uuencoded|xxencoded|binhex)'i, ); plus the patch below (much like the Ted's) may work as a stop-gap solution: ------------------ --- amavisd~ Mon Jan 5 02:00:19 2004 +++ amavisd Tue Mar 2 22:49:15 2004 @@ -5307,4 +5307,12 @@ } $which_section = "virus_scan"; + # special case to preserve complete mail file for inspection + if (lookup('MAIL',$keep_decoded_original_re)) { + # keep the original email.txt by making a hard link + # to it in ./parts/ + link("$tempdir/email.txt", "$tempdir/parts/email.txt") + or die "Can't create hard link $tempdir/email.txt: $!"; + do_log(4, "providing full original message to scanners"); + } # some virus scanners behave badly if interrupted, # so for now just turn off the timer ------------------ --snap -- Kind regards, Roman Hochuli CCNP, CQS Cable GPS-Technik AG Zürcherstrasse 139 8952 Schlieren Switzerland Tel +41-1-7329977 Fax +41-1-7311840 X-NCC-RegID: ch.gps What a strange game.
