Let's first introduce myself since I'm new to this list. I'm a perl geek and I
work for an ASP as network administrator. I also have my own perl project
called 'Hackbot'. Recently I configured a in-transit mailscanning anti spam system,
with MIMEDefang/spamassassin/nvcc, for the company. Works excellent!
Now, there's one functionality that I'd like to have in defang, unzipping of
archives to be able to scan them for possible virusses.
I do know the risk of potential DoSattacks but considering the fact that lots of
virusses are being sent in a ZIP attachment and considering that there are still
brainless users that actually unzip them and get infected (?!).
I would like to make this code for MIMEDefang primarily for myself but I'd like to
contribute the code too if wanted. The only issue that I have is wether I should
let Defang unzip the files and then feed them to the mailscanner or simply let
defang rip the zipped attachment and feed that one directly to the virusscanner.
Or am I overlooking already available functionality now ? :)
just my $00.1 grtz, Marco van Berkum
