Raymond/Julian,

I can confirm a similar reporting error with SophosSAVI and Clam with
'Include Scanner Name In Reports = yes'

> Warning: This message has had one or more attachments removed
> Warning: (ClamAV: eicar_com.zip, eicar_com.zip).
> Warning: Please read the "VirusWarning.txt" attachment(s) for more
information.

<--SNIP-->

The ClamAV report is shown in the warning header, and the SAVI report is
shown in the attachment.

Regards,
Steve.

Hi!

I got a virus mailed myself, and noticed this:

Warning: This message has had one or more attachments removed
Warning: (LGKJPCLG.EXE, ClamAV: LGKJPCLG.EXE).
Warning: Please read the "VirusWarning.txt" attachment(s) for more
information.


This is a message from the MailScanner E-Mail Virus Protection Service
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The original e-mail attachment "LGKJPCLG.EXE"
was believed to be infected by a virus and has been replaced by this
warning
message.

If you wish to receive a copy of the *infected* attachment, please
e-mail helpdesk and include the whole of this message
in your request. Alternatively, you can call them, with
the contents of this message to hand when you call.

At Time::tm=ARRAY(0x90952b4) the virus scanner said:
   F-Prot: LGKJPCLG.EXE  Infection: W32/Hybris.worm.B
   Executable DOS/Windows programs are dangerous in email (LGKJPCLG.EXE)

The 'At Time::' isnt right it seems :)
Its with MailScanner-4.15-9, f-prot and clamav.

It also looks strange that the inline warning tells ClamAV: and the
attachment only tells about f-prot ...

Bye,
Raymond.
