We found Sophie couldn't detect Yaha-K virus even though we
had a virus definition file for it.
It's possible it may be broken for all the more recent
viruses.
The problem is not with mimedefang nor with sophos
as sweep using same libsavi.so.2 and yaha-k.ide will
detect the virus.
Problem can be fixed by commenting out code in sophie_init.c
which sets configuration value SOPHOS_UPX and recompiling sophie.
Sophie was 1.40rc1 on Solaris 2.8 with nov02 or jan03 Web sophos and
3.63 or 3.65 virus ide files.
