[Mimedefang] Virus Evading Detection

Wed Apr 24 15:15:15 EDT 2002

The following shows part of the header file which apparently evaded detection
by the standard mimedefang filter rules:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
<HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>

Subject: product lines, present and future, include<br>

--U1k1d631Tyay0nN2789BHI1PWxk01u6L
Content-Type: application/octet-stream;
        name=20,.exe
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-ID: <Zb3izrGl5Z64j8J7C>

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Apparenlty the include file contained a virus as it was could by
the users PC based virus detection software.

I have not been following the list really close the last few days, but I
have not seen any mention of this.  

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
