Corrupt messages in the queue: postfix 2.0.22, mailscanner 4. 30.3

[Julian Field]

I'm running postfix 2.1.1 (ie the latest stable release) and it has just
delivered an eicar message fine. No "corrupt" warnings at all. Can someone
mail me the file that it put in the "corrupt" directory? Not just the
postcat output but the original file.
