My experience is with the old Symantec SMTP software. I got 42,000 of these a month:
11-Mar-2006 00:03:11 Action: Scan Error From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: SpongeBob Squarepants DVD Boardgame chesterot Size: 4989 SMTP ID: M2006031100031025411 Info: Message could not be scanned completely. Scan Status: 56 - Malformed MIME file. This was, mind you, a mostly anti-virus system and was only marginally capable of filtering spam, but it followed the rule that everyone must follow the rules. If it received incorrect headers, unscannable files, NUL characters or non-standard SMTP line terminators it kicked the message. In 3 years of this the only real errors were the Apple/Mac users with multiple attachments.

Is that mail with no mime headers at all, or mime mail with faulty structure? There's plenty of plain text emails that fall into the first category, and I've seen automated mails in the second, but very little spam in either.
