Subject: Viruses Undetected in MailScanner after Sophos Update

Hi all,

Two days ago I upgraded Sophos as I do every two months to version 446, after which virus laden attachments began coming through my MailScanner system undetected.
So, I back-revved to version 444 and the virus attachments are again being detected and removed from the messages properly. (whew)

Does anyone know if Sophos has made some changes to their "linux.intel.libc6.glibc.2.2.tar.Z" distributions that breaks it functionality with MailScanner?

Thanks,

Gather a few suspect files. Then run both versions and see how they
report their results.

My guess is that the output format has been changed

Hugo.

Hugo,
I did run some messages with virused attachments through MailScanner with Sophos v446 installed and they came straight through to my mailbox without being detected or reported in the mail log as they had been with Sophos v444. I guess I'll wait till Sophos v447 is released and try that distribution.
Thanks...Dan

I'm guessing it is this problem:
