Has anyone else that is using the Kaspersky Anti-Virus Pro Toolkit ever
found a solution to attachments that are reported as Corrupt being
filtered from emails? Every once in a while the virus detection program
reports an attachment as corrupt but MIMEDefang still strips the
attachment and reports it as containing a virus. I assume this is due to
the result code being sent back to MIMEDefang is either "1" or "0" and
there is no difference between corrupt or infected. I am also assuming
that Kaspersky has a problem with filenames that contain a space as every
file ever reported as corrupt seem to contain a space in their file name..
Any ideas??
Here are the warning details:
The attachment Spox Aff.doc contains a known virus. It has been
quarantined.
Here is the output from the virus scanner:
