uuencoded att's not scanned by Mailscanner?

[Sander Jonkers]

Hi,

Are uuencoded attachments not scanned by Mailscanner? When I send a
uuencoded eicar.com, the eicar.com attachment arrives at the destination, without
being blocked by mailscanner.

Sending is done with:
uuencode eicar.com eicar.com | mail harrydebeuker at gmx.net
The mail is received and correctly decoded to eicar.com by Outlook Express.

Below is an example of the message format (not eicar.com but hi.txt to avoid
alarm bells)

Any ideas?

Sander
