I've actually heard of this the other way around (Mydoom getting detected, 
Bagle getting through). They discussed it just the other day in the amavis 
mailing list.

The solution was to check the setting for
	$bypass_decode_parts

in amavisd.conf. Switch it to 1, if it isn't already. That solved the 
original poster's problem.

This was the thread, I believe:
