Re: [Declude.Virus] OT: e-mail headers
Greg, I think I figured it out. I looked at your headers again and found two sets of the same headers: Subject: Download New Song From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: PHP/4.3.8 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: BASE64 It appears that the first set is wrong and should be removed if possible.

Re: [Declude.Virus] OT: e-mail headers
Greg, I am going to guess that the headers: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: BASE64 ...are wrong for a message that contains both a text part and a base64 encoded part. If there are in fact two parts, it would seem proper for something like the following to replace them in the headers: Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="unique_boundary" ...and then in the body the text and base64 code should be separated by the boundaries. Declude probably sees the Content-Type header as text/plain but then sees a base64 segment and tags the vulnerability. I believe that your headers would work if there was only a single base64 segment in the body and no plain text that wasn't encoded. Before jumping the gun, it would be nice to see the full source of the message. You can edit the text and screw up the base64 stuff if you wish since it's the formatting that really matters here.
