Thanks. I'm reading more about this all day and have to get onto other work
but another follow-up:
It might be of interest that using Symantec Anti-Virus for SMTP and NO
Mimedefang missed the following tests to my knowledge though it's much
harder because Symantec does a receive and modify rather than a block on
emails. It's very possible some of these were "defanged" but it's very
difficult for me to ascertain.
Test #5
Test #7
Test #8
Test #13 (MAYBE) -- It still had a winmail.dat and Outlook wouldn't open it.
Test #15
Test #17
Test #18 message looks garbled
Test #19 message looks empty
Test #20 message looks empty
Test #22 really failed on this one!
Both these tests and the ones below did not trigger SAV for Desktop
Corporate Edition 8.1 Engine with all updates/etc. either.
