I have encountered a problem with amavisd and Convert::UUlib that makes it difficult to send messages with attachments containing DNA data.
The content of these DNA files is very close to base64 (it would match a character class like [\n0-9>A-Z] ). UUlib picks out substrings of this data and turns them into binary files. One of these files had the misfortune of having file magic that matched a PDP-11 executable. My amavisd setup blocked the message. Has anyone encountered a similar problem with amavisd/uulib? It is possible that someone engineered a gene sequence with a hidden PDP-11 executable, but this seems unlikely and I don't have a PDP-11 to test the output on. :) --Jeffrey Arbuckle ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
