Thank you Rick, the code you provided works.  but I think the argument of
unixFileAttributes() should be octal number, instead of string. so I
modified the code a little.
This finally works for my MailScanner version 4.81.4-1.

I just looked at the Archive::Zip documentation and it appears it that
should have worked as is. The documentation states:
   unixFileAttributes( [$newAttributes] )
 
In any event that might explain the issues on other systems and hopefully
Julian will make the changes for the next release. The person to thank is
you, you are the one who caught the unexplained permission change on the
extracted files, I just looked at the code that performs the action and
unixFileAttributes(600) kind of stuck out like a sore thumb
 
Rick 

after apply this patch, the permission is OK:

Actually the more I looked at this, I believe the code in Message.pm
beginning at line 3348 that reads

   # Untaint member's attributes.
   $member->unixFileAttributes(0600);

Should be

   # Untaint member's attributes.
       my $workperms = MailScanner::Config::Value('workperms') || '0600';
   $member->unixFileAttributes($workperms);
For some reason it appears Julian forced the extracted files to 0600 in the
original code. The change I have listed above would set them to what ever
the mailscanner config has for the work permissions or 600 if no value
exists.

Julian any comment?
