Could someone help me with a little more detail on this. I'm wondering specifically about if this affects networks behind Webshield SMTP, or E-mail coming from a network protected by Webshield SMTP...or something else?
WebShield simply has a lot of problems.
The message below seems to be generated by Webshield SMTP in response to an E-mail with a virus in it, and it includes an improperly formatted Date field (Date: Tue Aug 26 16:48:12 2003). Would this affect anything besides automated notifications originating from Webshield SMTP?
It should not.
There are other catches with WebShield, though -- one of the main ones being that most (all?) versions hide the IP address of the source of the E-mail, making spammer's lives a lot easier (WebShield hides their IP), and making it much harder to stop spam.
Scott, you also mentioned that you believed it was safe to fail automatically on BADHEADERS because such E-mail will also be rejected by other servers, not just a Declude protected one.
Correct. For example, depending on the severity of the issue, a mail client may simply delete the E-mail. The most common problem (Date: headers that are bogus) typically force the E-mail to the top of the inbox, where they may not be seen for days/weeks.
