Darin,
 
Ver 8.22 vulnerability patch has a bug. The following is a sample Q file. 
 
==============================
QC:\IMAIL\spool\D144b019300006079.SMD
Hmail.mathbox.com
I144b019300006079
WC:\IMAIL\mail.mathbox.com
E0,
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
NRCPT TO:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Rfh@ <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> customerdomain.com
==============================

Note the "%s" instead of the sender domain. The email message looks normal.
When Declude v3.1.3 tried to process the message, Declude would hang (not
crash). Processor usage dropped to nearly zero. Could not stop/restart the
Declude process.
 
That sender sent about 10 messages to the same customer today, before I
figured out what was going on. Declude hung on each one.Then I blocked the
sender's IP address. I was able to save one original SMD file and its
matching Q file.
 
The SMD file is US ASCII plain text, no MIME sections, no attachment and is
less than 2K.. An absolutely plain vanilla message.
 
The log file contains interesting information:
 
02:14 08:53 SMTPD(144b019300006079) [63.150.236.14] connect 64.21.55.1 port
58070
02:14 08:53 SMTPD(144b019300006079) [64.21.55.1] HELO nrouter.hsix.com
02:14 08:53 SMTPD(144b019300006079) Percent (%) characters replaced with
asterisks (*) in following entry
02:14 08:53 SMTPD(144b019300006079) [64.21.55.1] MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
02:14 08:53 SMTPD(144b019300006079) [64.21.55.1] RCPT
TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
02:14 08:53 SMTPD(144b019300006079) [x] looking up customerdomain.com in
HOSTS
02:14 08:53 SMTPD(144b019300006079) [64.21.55.1]
C:\IMAIL\spool\D144b019300006079.SMD 2030
02:14 08:53 SMTPD(144b019300006079) performing antispam checks
 
So it looks like the sending SMTP's conversation contained the "%s" I do not
know why SMTP produced that Q file. It should have rejected the message. I
mean how do you deliver to a domain named "%s"? The percent character is not
valid in domain names.
