Hi,

We received many requests to un-quarantine the price.exe files recently.
The reason is that the messages attache one zip file with two files in.
One file(price.html) is infected and the other one (price.exe) matches
the file name extention rule. MailScanner only tells the recipient that
the exe file is dangerous and dos not show anything about the infected
one.  Is it possible for MailScanner to report all infections it found
or at least the most significant one?

Here is an example:

The infection report user received shows:
At Mon Aug 9 13:56:37 2004 the virus scanner reported:
          MailScanner: Executable DOS/Windows programs are dangerous in
email (price.exe)

The syslog shows:
