Thanks Mark, it turns out that Maximum Archive Depth was set to 0 (which
disables scanning within archives as I understand it).

I have changed this value to 2 now, hopefully that will fix the problem :)

Regards,

Default MailScanner config settings should block these

filename.rules.conf contains

deny    \.jse?$         Possible Microsoft JScript attack
                       JScript Scripts are dangerous in email

deny    \.exe$          Windows/DOS Executable
   Executable DOS/Windows programs are dangerous in email

And both MailScanner and virus scanners look inside zip archives.
