David, The CRLF thing doesn't affect me since I have my own solution, however for those that use Subject tagging, adding another test won't help unless they decide to just simply delete such messages. The header boundary could be programatically determined with a great deal of ease (a simple regexp), and Declude could insert it's headers into the correct place if this was done. Introducing tests to score conditions that one's software does not handle correctly is not a fix, it's a work-around. Regarding the other things, I'm very alarmed that the official position is still not even recognizing that these bugs surely exist, much less fixed at this point. This concerns me greatly since I rely on this product for my business, and if it takes months to just confirm a bug, especially one that is widely reported, I can't responsibly rely on that product. It is pretty much the same thing as having a virus scanner that takes months to catch a particular virus, or having a Web browser that is never patch for a critical flaw. I consider both the Mail From issue and the base 64 encoding issues to be critical flaws that warrant immediate fixes. I am not alone in this. If you don't have a lot of people still griping about this stuff, it is because they are either not aware of the flaws, or they have already given up on trying to get you guys to fix them, or given up on relying on Declude altogether. These things should be fixed in hours or days and not weeks or months when they occur. I assume that you are not the person making these development decisions, so this isn't directed at you, but those that make the calls need to fully understand the critical nature of these flaws, and their role in making sure that Declude can respond rapidly to such things not just now, but as they occur in the future.

Is this too supposed to be fixed? I'm also very, very curious about the other bugs such as long base 64 encoding causing Declude Virus to fail decoding, WHITELIST IP being applied before IPBYPASS, and the issue where Declude's headers are inserted at the bottom of the message when the headers don't use proper CRLF line breaks? Thanks, Matt David Barker wrote:I have added the request to the wish list. We are focusing on replicating problems and fixing items from the list I had posted earlier last week. We are looking to do a release Thursday 8 July it is currently under going testing. This is all obviously subject to change just trying to keep you informed. Items in next release: 1. Fix - ALLOWVULNERABILITIESFROM - full email address only 2. Fix - QUEUEFILE_SAVEFILE log shows incorrect directory path 3. Add - Error in SM envelope file: if errors are found the mail will be moved to the error directory 4. Add - If the headers files are not found then the data file is moved to error directory. 5. Add - A new vulnerability test NONSTANDARDCRLF will be included to check for the end of the headers.

In fact, the current functionality provides an appropriate mechanism for blocking these as-is. I would just simply like to see Declude catch up by fixing the known bugs first. When they catch up, then certainly they should consider feature requests, but it would make sense focus on new tests and improving existing ones, along with refining functionality. I will personally continue to hold back from such discussions until it is clear that they are capable of handling the bugs. Sorry to make an example of you here; that's not the intention of course. I just thought that it would be constructive to point this stuff out for the benefit of Declude and it's customers alike.
