Since I upgraded to 4.48.4, I have had a week with pretty much zero
virus detections (some filename catches by MailScanner)...after a couple
of days of this it scared me! So I tried sending EICAR and a few less
friendly viruses through the system and the detection seems to work
fine. On the other hand spam detection is at an all time high! It looks
like pretty much everything is being detected as High Spam.
