[Mimedefang] SoBig.E slipping through

That would be because the file was called "your_details.zip   with a 
leading quote.  Mime 
defang stripped the trailing character because it thought it was quoted I 
think.

I stand to be corrected but this is what I think I observed.

        Regards,
                Steven Ellison

[Mimedefang] SoBig.E slipping through






Added following code to filter() but it did not stop SoBig.E as I
expected...

$lc_fname=lc($fname);
if ($lc_fname eq 'your_details.zip' || $lc_fname eq 'your_details.zi'){
   action_quarantine_entire_message("Quarantined attachment $lc_fname
contains a virus: [SoBig.E]");
   return action_discard();
   }


Upgraded mimedefang from 2.30 to 2.34, but that did not help.
Added code above to filter_multipart, but that did not help.
I can send attachments with this name and they get blocked, so the code is
working.  Somehow SoBig.E is faking out mimedefang...  Here is the actual
headers of the virus:
