The current development version has a new feature to detect such mails.

2018-12-03
fixed in assp 2.6.2 *Fortress* build 18337: 

added:

- 'DoNoFromSelect','Select Checks for From: and Sender: Header'
 Select which check should be done in DoNoFrom .
 
 1 - from: and sender: header tag are both missing
 2 - different domains found in from: and sender: email addresses
 4 - multiple from: addresses or from: header tags found
 8 - multiple sender: addresses or sender: header tags found
 16 - no or an invalid email address found in from: header tag
 32 - no or an invalid email address found in sender: header tag
 
 Simply form the sum of the numbers in front of the checks you want to 
select (0...63). Default vaule is 63 (1+2+4+8+16+32) - all checks are 
selected.'
 

>make the user open the attached document (usually .doc containing macro 
viruses not identified by ClamAV)

configure ClamAV to detect OLE2 content
use the ASSP_AFC.pm plugin to detect executable code in attachments 
(including .doc with macro)

Betreff:        [Assp-user] Regular expression to identify malformed FROM: 
header





These days there's a lot of incoming mails with a malformed FROM: header 
looking like this:
From: Real Person <real.per...@wellknowndomain.com> <spam...@anydomain.xy>

This header fools MS Outlook (and probably other mail clients) to show the 
well known real e-mail-address to make the user open the attached document 
(usually .doc containing macro viruses not identified by ClamAV).

I'm wondering if we could use bombHeaderRe to identify and score/block 
these messages. How should a regular expression look like to do that?

Regards,
Markus

PS: season's greetings to all of you.
