Jason,

> Maybe Clam is the cause?

Looks like you are correct - I've changed my settings to say "Virus Scanners
= sophossavi sophos" and now I get:

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

>>> At Tue Apr 29 13:59:08 2003 the virus scanner said:
>>>  SophosSAVI: eicar_com.zip was infected by EICAR-AV-Test
>>>  Sophos: >>> Virus 'EICAR-AV-Test' found in file eicar_com.zip/eicar.com

Regards,
Steve.

And I can confirm this too with Clam and McAfee.  Maybe Clam is the cause?
