I am also seeing this problem...

noob question, does MailScanner with Sweep scan the message body?  Is there an option to set for that?

I'm trying to figure out if MailScanner or Sophos is to blame?  And whethter I need to set a different option?

We are running version 4.22-5  --  I know that's an old version but our mail admin hasn't had time to upgrade :(
