Infected attached archive
For testing the efficiency of the BitDefender MIME Packer component, create an
archive containing the EICAR.COM file, then attach it to an email sent to yourself through
the email server to test. For example, gzip the EICAR.COM file and attach the resulting
archive.
$ gzip --best EICAR.COM
$ echo "EICAR test archive." | mail -s EICAR -a EICAR.COM.gz $USER
You will shortly receive the email disinfected, the notification emails as postmaster
and, if configured, the emails addressed to sender and receiver stating about the virus
found.
