I'm saying that TB! doesn't search the message source (I gave the likely reason why), it searches the headers and the message body. Take my eicar test message: The content header says: Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="----------D3A45B2109AEC0" No reference to the virus name there. Now, on examination of the source, if I look *after* the message body where TB! doesn't search, I see: ,-----[ begin ]----->> | | ------------D3A45B2109AEC0 | Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="<virus name>" | Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 | Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="<virus name>" | | '-----[ end ]-----|| and this is followed by the attachment. TB!'s filtering doesn't search these parts of the source. I had to remove the virus name since the listserver returned my message thinking it was infected. ;-) - -- -=Allie C Martin=- List Moderator | TB! v1.60q | Windows XP Pro PGP/GPG Public Key: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=2B0717E2 _________________________________________________________________ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQE9Bz05V8nrYCsHF+IRAkPqAKCfA0UUw9dkkgqrTK+aAICYO2kX8QCeJM8R SGH5gR2DVepO2uLalrUElyM= =SJBO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60q FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://bt.ritlabs.com
