Intro: I usually attach three lines similar to these in my signature: | Outlook (Express) users: press Ctrl+F3 for the full source code of this post. | begin dont_click_this_virus.exe | end In the original, I have two spaces after "begin" which tricks broken Microsoft software (they still haven't grasped MIME!) into thinking it's a uuencoded attachment. Note we're not discussing the political correctness of my signature here. I recently got a message from an Exchange V6.0.4712.0 site running Norton Antivirus, which revealed information on where the user filtered its mailing list to: | Recipient of the infected attachment: USERNAME DELETED\Posteingang\Mailinglisten\Postfix Users | Subject of the message: Postfix and interface address aliases on Linux | One or more attachments were quarantined. | Attachment dont_click_this_virus.exe was Quarantined for the following | reasons: | Virus UNAUTHORIZED FILE was found. I believe I'm not supposed to see the "...\Posteingang\Mailinglisten\Postfix Users" part. (Posteingang is usually named INBOX in English) I had expected the destination mail address there. I cannot tell whether this is an Norton AntiVirus bug or an Exchange bug. Needless to say that the egocentric Exchange sent a winmail.dat attachment. -- Matthias Andree
