I just had quite a bit of a discussion about malware that just walks
past MailScanner with multiple AV scanners active.

It seems that it might be related to postfix. Where MailScanner is
trying to decode postfix queue files but not doing the right thing.

My result on 3 sample queue files was 0% through MailScanner. But
decoding them with postcat allowed me to hit 100% of the files.

So the issue may require all postfix users to look very carefully into
their messages and the ability to scan them properly.

Hugo.
