It's not an error as in fault. It's an error in as much as Sophos can't
be sure that the file is ok, because it doesn't have access to all the
parts to reassemble it and check it properly.

By default, unless Sophos says the attachment is OK, MailScanner will
treat the content as malicious. If you're happy to permit these
attachments, even though you have no idea whether they're safe, you
could add some part of the error message to the allowed Sophos error
messages configuration entry.

Cheers,

Martin
