Hi all, long time user/lurker here.

Similar to the 'unable to ban zip files':

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.mail.virus.maiamailguard/16241

Except in this case I am not banning Zips, but *certain* ones appear to
be evading virus scanning completely.

I received a malicious zip file and proceeded to test scan it on the
command line:

[***@mx1 ~]# file +14397327408-3688154-167160-479.zip
+14397327408-3688154-167160-479.zip: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to
extract

[***@mx1 ~]# clamscan +14397327408-3688154-167160-479.zip -i
+14397327408-3688154-167160-479.zip:
Sanesecurity.Foxhole.Zip_exe.UNOFFICIAL FOUND

Size is appropriate (~25k) as well -- and since I also use Maia as a
smarthost, I tested maia by forwarding to an external email address
(that I control) and it went right on thru:
