Sophos and Encrypted Attachments

[Mike Kercher]

I've been getting complaints of encrypted attachments being rejected by
SophosSAVI because they are encrypted.  I've added a ruleset to allow
encrypted attachments from certain domains and added a "Sophos Allowed Error
Messages" entry for "File was encrypted", but they are still rejected.

encrypted (530):: ./j6IEbXCt027886/Cing 615 @ McMullen.xls 
Jul 18 20:29:11 avwall2 MailScanner[31191]: SophosSAVI::ERROR:: File was
encrypted (530):: ./j6J1So5V000931/20050718155617H0004711.PDF 

These attachments must be encrypted to comply with the Graham-Leach-Bliley
Act here in the US.  I think my last resort is to not virus scan emails from
specified email addresses, but I'd hate to have a forging virus come through
using one of these whitelisted email addresses.  Did I miss something
elsewhere in my config?
