Decrypt STARTTLS SMTP protocol but not blocked Virus File

L0 Member

The mail server resides on the network inside PaloAlto.
I am trying to add a feature to use STARTTLS for SMTP/25 from the mail server to the Internet.

I implemented STARTTLS decryption (Forward Proxy) on the PaloAlto and sent an email with Eicar Virus to the Internet via the mail server and it was sent without being blocked.

The PaloAlto threat log shows that the Virus is recognized and the Action shows “reset-both”, but it is not actually blocked.

As a test, I disabled STARTTLS on the mail server, and the mail with Eicar was blocked. (However, this time it was simply TCP RESET, not the 541 code, so we recognize this as a problem as well.)

What do you think is the cause?
