I need to clarify my security department is running Interscan VirusWall but it didn't detect the virus and let the email pass. I assume that with the updated patterns that future messages would be blocked. That still leaves a problem that this type of message, can score nothing by SpamAssassin. I am sure that [EMAIL PROTECTED] didn't send the messages....why didn't that trip any rules?

You could also use mimedefang. Add it to the list of evil attachment types
if you want to block all zips.
