I just upgraded my MailScanner installation to 4.23-11 on Friday.
Since then, there have been 45 occurrences of messages where the
recipient has received the canned virus warning with a reference to a
file in the quarantine, but the quarantined file actually contains the
virus warning itself (including a reference to itself) rather than the
original message. I am gathering that this means the original message
has been lost. I consider any situation that results in loss of mail
to be of critical importance. In this instance, the message that was
lost was a report of a user winning an auction item on Ebay
(legitimate, not forged). The message contained a form.
