Sweep and .zip

[David Baker]

In my older version of Mailscanner (3.x) I had to edit the mailscanner.conf
line to have sweep -archive and in the newer version (4.x) I edited
/usr/local/lib/Mailscanner/sophos-wrapper.pl file to contain $prog -archive
in the bottom exec call.

Once I did that and restarted Mailscanner, both versions are now detecting
any compressed file format.


Thanks,

David

I believe MS/Sophos has been able to do this for quite a while. You can test
this with the test viruses eicar.zip and eicar2.zip.
