SEP not detecting virii in e-mail attachments?

Oui, j'ai besoin d'une solution

Hello,

I just wanted to check if there is possibly a configuration issue somewhere, or if my understanding of how the e-mail scanning in SEP works.

I have a client running SEP 12.1.4023.4080 with latest definitions from LiveUpdate.  E-mails are downloaded by POP3.

One of the users got infected with CryptoWall about a month back and the Symantec client did not detect it in the attachment.  Fair enough, it may have been a new variant.

The client continues to get suspicious attachments, usually a "Fax" or and "Order", with an attachmed Zip file, very much like the one that was opened a month previous.

I have confirmed that mail protection is enabled in SEP, but these attachments still appear in the users' e-mails.  I would think SEP would quarantine them?

If you could let me know if I maybe misunderstand how the mail protection works?
