hmm what's that..

/etc/clamav/clamd.conf:

ScanArchive true

if I compress .PDF file it works

sometimes works, sometimes not ;/

no error message.. just blocking whole e-mail.

As far I see all e-mails containing .ZIP attachement are ignored without warning / error message to sender.

If I change extension to .ZI_ it works.

How to allow .ZIP delivery?
