Hello Nicola,
I followed your suggestion and, at last, it works for me too :-) .
I verified it sending, a few times, a mail to myself with an attachment 
containing the compressed virus test eicar (eicar_com.zip) and it was 
detected and sent to the separate folder I had made for that purpose, 
so, I tried again, but this time, instead of attaching the compressed 
virus test file (eicar_com.zip) I attached the uncompressed one 
(eicar.com) and I didn't receive that mail I sent to myself, as before.
I tried a few times but never received the mail. I wonder why (??!!).
Cheers,
Alberto
