MailScanner 4.28-5 and zip files - an oddity

[Tim Bishop]

I've just updated to 4.28-5 on FreeBSD and I've been testing the
encrypted zip file protection. I've not got anything fancy in my config,
I went with the default of just not allowing them.

Here's the oddity...

I send a test message in (from my exim logs):

2004-03-09 00:42:21 1B0VK9-00098K-Nw <= t.d.bishop at mydomain.com H=mx5.mydomain.com (mx5.mydomain.com) [1.2.3.4] P=esmtp S=12101 id=20040309004148.GC24156 at mydomain.com

MailScanner picks it up:

Mar  9 00:42:23 server MailScanner[34903]: New Batch: Scanning 1 messages, 12470 bytes
Mar  9 00:42:24 server MailScanner[34903]: Password-protected archive (test.zip) in 1B0VK9-00098K-Nw

Mar  9 00:42:25 server MailScanner[34903]: New Batch: Scanning 1 messages, 1960 bytes

MailScanner generates a normal warning to postmaster:

2004-03-09 00:42:25 1B0VKD-00098e-8B <= postmaster at otherdomain.com U=mailnull P=local S=1733
2004-03-09 00:42:27 1B0VKD-00098e-8B => /home/tdb/Maildir/.postmaster/ (tdb at server.otherdomain.com) <postmaster at otherdomain.com> R=userforward T=address_directory
2004-03-09 00:42:27 1B0VKD-00098e-8B Completed

And that's it... I was expecting something to either be sent to the
sender or the recipient. Not complete silence.

I'm presuming I've just overlooked something which is intended
behaviour. Any advice welcomed.

Cheers,
Tim.
