Good afternoon.

This morning, I received the following e-mail:

The e-mail has an attachment
"Delivery_Notification_DHL_EXPRESS-9493SND21ZJJA8I24.zip"

I upload the attachment to clamav.net, and it was already detected as
Email.Trojan-268. So I thought my CLAMAV pattern is not updated,  but it
was. And actually, scanning the file manually yields infected virus result:

#clamdscan DHL\ Express\ Notification\ for\ shipment\ \
84302695681014952HG5V.eml
/tmp/DHL Express Notification for shipment  84302695681014952HG5V.eml:
Email.Trojan-268 FOUND

I have tried this several times and still, amavisd-new's result is CLEAN
while manual scan says infected. In fact the trendmicro engine I am
using side-by-side with amavisd just recently been updated and it's
detecting the virus as  TSPY_ZBOT.HNF, and finally amavisd-new is
catching this as infected but only by the trendmicro scanner.

Here is the debug output: http://pastebin.com/f8DSt4qD

How is it possible that amavisd-new is resulting "clean" while manual
scan of CLAMAV is resulting "infected"?

Version of amavisd-new is amavisd-new-2.6.5 (20110407).
Clamav version is ClamAV 0.97.3/13962/Fri Nov 18 06:44:13 2011



thanks and best regards,
Kenneth
