Julian,

once again, thanx a LOT for the speed at which you resolve things...
even being abroad and with bad access.

I just generated a patch for version 4.31.6 (from which your
Message.pm came from) and also managed to back-port it to 4.29.7 which
I have installed in several places.

This last one I'm testing and its working OK, detecting these zip
within zip viruses that yesterday passed thru.

The patches are at http://baby.com.ar/MailScanner/zipWzip/ for anyone
to use (at their own risk, of course)

Regards
