multi part volume (sophos) errors - best way of handling

[Ray Gardener]

Hi,

sophos (not reasonably) complains that it is unable to handle multi part zip
files and reports them as corrupt.

e.g.

 Recipient: a.student at student.shu.ac.uk
   Subject:  Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender

    Report: Could not check ./18t6j9-00067B-00/Implementation
12March.zip/Implementation/SCM 2/SCM/Debug/vc60.idb (part of multi volume
archive)
Could not check ./18t6j9-00067B-00/Implementation 12March.zip (corrupt)

 I know that in the latest version of mailscanner you can specified that
such errors be ignored using

Allowed Sophos Error Messages = corrupt

(even though you are warned of the dangers of doing this).

Just to clarify - would

Allowed Sophos Error Messages = part of multi volume archive

also work in allowing through mail with similar errors to the one above?



2) In the case of multi part volumes would mailscanner adding a opening
warning attachment telling the users that this hasn't been scanned properly
be a sensible or feasible to implement?

Regards
