[Icom] RE: Stripping "Attachments" BEWARE

[icom@mailman.qth.net]

there is a new type of virus..listen up..

A well known feature in outlook express which allows you to reassemble 
fragmented messages(rfc 2046 multipurpose internet mail extension- MIME) call 
allow attackers to embed malicious code in a messagae that  may avoid 
detection by some smtp scanners in its fragmenteed form. When the attachments 
are broken up in this way, it becomes very difficult for any antivirus s/w to 
detect a virus within fragments.

Suggestion is to use a content filter
