Hi Steve,

You're probably new here so I wont  break out the flame-thrower, but here's
the cigarette-lighter :) - this question is asked about once a fortnight,
sometimes  more.  Please read the comments in the MailScanner.conf file  and
see the MAQ/FAQ and the archiives (URL's below).  In short, set the maximum
depth of zipfile checks to zero.  Julian's gone to a lot of trouble to answer
these common questions in the config files, sample rules and the MAQ/FAQ.
The archives for any list are a good starting point, even more so here :)

Cheers,

James
