[Richard Whelan]

Hi,

Have also just run these tests:

Test #22, & #23 failed here using MD 2.43, and SA only. No AV 
configured. All mails from this system are forwarded to separate AV 
system running Trend's InterScan VirusWall which picked up #5 and #8 no 
problem.

My client picked up #23 afterwards once it got to the desktop.

Cheers,

Richard
