I am using the "bad windows extensions" list and clamav to virus scan.
The only tests that got through for me are the following:

#  8 Eicar virus sent using BinHex encoding within a MIME segment
#18 Outlook 'Blank Folding' Vulnerability (does not include Eicar virus,
but your mail server still must catch this)
#22 A file with a CLSID extension which may hide the real file extension
(does not include Eicar virus, but your mail server still must catch
this)

I would very much be interested in any solutions that come up as a
result of this discussion. Thanks!
