[Mimedefang] [OT] Virus without attachments

[Mojahedul Hoque Abul Hasanat]

Dear All,

This is kind of off topic.  Has anyone seen a virus without an
attachment with extensions?

The example filter scripts supplied with MD runs scanners on the whole
email (working directory) first then runs scanners again for each MIME
part.  It seems a waste of CPU cycles to me.

To reduce the CPU load, I am running the scanner (uvscan) only on MIME
parts that have an extension.  Is it enough?

BTW, MD 2.2 is humming smoothly in our PIII 800MHz box with 30K mails
per day.  Of course the load average sky rockets from time to time,
that's expected with this meager hardware.  Kudos to David for an
excellent piece of software.
