Is there a information page where you explain the different vulnerabilities and what are tipical causes of this?
Yes -- http://www.declude.com/virus/manual.htm has a section on vulnerabilities, that has a brief description of each one.
We have here a lot of hold messages with:
Outlook 'Blank Folding' Vulnerability Outlook 'CR' Vulnerability Outlook 'Boundary Space Gap' Vulnerability Outlook 'MIME segment in MIME Postamble' Vulnerability
Part of this mails are Spam.
Yes, in almost all cases E-mails with vulnerabilities are spam, as there are no viruses that takes advantage of the new vulnerabilities yet.
We keep the vulnerability blocking set to on because we see this function very important for new fast spreading viruses.
That's just a minor reason why you should enable the vulnerability detection.
The main reason is because many new viruses will not be detectable, except with the vulnerability detection. Even if your virus definitions are up to date, a new virus will pass through almost all mailserver virus scanners, unless they are detected as a vulnerability. That's why it is so important to detect the vulnerabilities.
If we want to explain to the programmers what they make wrong by generating their mail messages we need some info's...
The information in the manual should be enough for the programmers to figure out the problem (if they can't, they shouldn't be writing E-mail software!). However, they are welcome to contact us if they have further problems (assuming that it is not spam that they are sending).
