RE: Help for a newbie

Hello,

I think if you forward a mail message, the virus will be detected. The
problem is with bounces without MIME headers. 

It is SERIOUS VULNERABILITY. I can prepare a mail message that won't
appear to be a bounce, but will be, and it will carry a virus and let it
through undetected. User then will doubleclick it in their Outlook
[Express] and execute the virus. I just don't want to post the recipe on
a public mailing list.

I think it should be fixed ASAP.

Regards,
Andrzej Kukula
