PDF's intercepted by Mail Scanning Software

Post by Phil.le.brun »

We are experiencing occasional problems sending PDF's to external parties. Their mail scanning software blocks the email contain the PDF.
We use Amyuni 2.08 with default encryption. Installations appear ok and virus infection is not the problem.
Has anyone else experienced these problems?

example
A mail message has been encountered that
contains some bad data, ie. MIMEsweeper encountered an error when
trying to access the data.
and
I.S. MailFirewall has stopped the following message:
Because it believes the message contains a virus.
The virus scanning software used was: Sophos AntiVirus (SAVI2 Interface)
The file was corrupted.

Not working in 2.10

Post by Pedro_Dias »

We are getting reports that this is not working in Amyuni 2.10h, so whatever you folks did to correct it in 2.09, it's gone again in 2.10h.

Please advise

If you find a solution please let me know.

This is rather frustrating.

I am getting the above error message when I send out PDF generated with Amyuni document converter 2.10 to external users. Like other messages posted on this board, we use Sophos anti-virus software for our mail servers

Any news on this yet?

This is preventing a customer from sending out reports and reflecting badly on our software.

Hello,

This issue is happening with the Sophos antivirus for random PDF files. We are still looking into this issue.

Thanks.

Sophos 3.82

Post by solte98 »

Hi All,

I have just downloaded the sophos updates (ver 3.82), and now everytime I scan the PDF's, they are not reported as corrupted.

Tested further by sending mails out via mailsweeper, and they are now going through without being intercepted as 'undetermined'.

My environment:
Mailsweeper 4.2(3)
NT server 4 with SP6a (hi encryption pack)
Exchange server 5.5
Sophos 3.82
