I am getting emails through the xmail list which Symantec's SMS SMTP gateway are flagging as un-scannable. I saw this a year ago and just turned off the warning but this time I think I found a pattern.
Some of the emails I receive through this list seem to have 2 Content-Transfer-Encoding tags in them. A lot of the time one will say 7bit and one will say 8bit. 2 examples are the messages just sent through from Bill Healy and from Brian. But the message from waasssuup only had Content-Transfer-Encoding tag in them. Is this legit? I could see a scanner not knowing which encoding to use and complaining about it. I did a quick search on google and did see one patch to Ecartis that looked like it would add a second tag if one already existed, but not sure it that is the problem or not. I am showing the following headers in the message from Brian: Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 17 Jan 2007 20:46:15 -0500 From: Brian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> User-Agent: Thunderbird 1.5.0.9 (Windows/20061207) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: [email protected] Subject: [WARNING - NOT VIRUS SCANNED] [xmail] Re: Has filter processing changed in version 1.24 References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-ecartis-version: Ecartis v1.0.0 Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Errors-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-original-sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Precedence: bulk Reply-to: [email protected] X-list: xmail X-Brightmail-Tracker: AAAAAA== Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-OriginalArrivalTime: 18 Jan 2007 01:47:17.0554 (UTC) FILETIME=[95CA8920:01C73AA2] Can anyone else verify that this is happening? And, if it is could it be a problem or should I keep looking for something else.
