Placing blocked files inside zip file

Hi Group,

I noticed when I place a file with a blocked file extension inside a zip file, it seems to circumvent the sophos email filtering.  

Is this normal or a bug?

For example, if I try and email someone behind the sophos a file with a .scr suffix, it will get blocked, but if I put that same file into a zip file it goes right through.

This leads me to a follow up quesiton, if the scr file was actually a virus, would it have been caught inside the zip file?
