[Declude.Virus] Mime Segments

2003-11-18 Thread Don Brown
Over the last few days, the majority (about 98%) of entries in our
Virus log look like this:

11/18/2003 04:10:10 Qeff80ed6013007fe 50 is too many MIME levels to recurse
11/18/2003 04:10:10 Qeff80ed6013007fe 50 is too many MIME levels to recurse
11/18/2003 04:10:10 Qeff80ed6013007fe 50 is too many MIME levels to recurse

Could it be true that 98%+ of our inbound traffic has too many mime
levels?

We're running Declude PRO 1.76i9, F-Prot 3.14b under W2k3 Server, web
edition.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Most likely, you have one rogue spammer causing that.  You'll see one such 
entry for each new recursed MIME segment -- and if they have 50 already, 
they could easily have 100 or more.

What I would do is check the IMail and Declude log files to see who the 
E-mail was sent from/to, and whether or not it was blocked for any 
reason.  If it was blocked, you can send us the D*.SMD file, and we can 
analyze it.
