The Mail::DeliveryStatus::BounceParser source contains a live virus and
some real spam/phishing mails. This is leading to Netcraft and other
virus detection systems on the Internet reporting Debian mirrors as
malicious, which potentially reduces the reputation of debian.org on
various anti-spam and anti-malware services. Please fix this in
upstream git, with a new release on CPAN and in all Debian suites.

To fix this you will need to strip the account-password.zip attachment
from t/corpus/virus-caused-multiple-weird-reports.msg and if possible
strip the phishing/spam content from the other files, while ensuring
that the tests still pass despite changes to the corpus but that the
new files in the corpus do not trip any anti-virus checkers:

$ clamdscan --fdpass --infected | sed "s|`pwd`/||"
