I use RAQ4-Bassi-MailScannerRelease 3.21-1 and I'm pretty sure it has
detected viruses in zip files before. I tested it today with the
eicar_com2.zip download and it removed the attachment and warned me. I
didn't edit any config files or update the program. The only updates I get
are the definitions. Isn't it actually MailScanner that scans the files?
