{Disarmed}

Post by b19wll »

Not sure if its a bug or a feature so here goes;

Some of the email have {Disarmed} Appended to the subject, at first I thought it was to do with a phising attempt as in the body of the mail would be "MailScanner has deteced a fraud attempt from www... claining to be www....

I have also had some emails that have {Disarmed} in the subject but no mention of MailScanner in the body, can you please explain?

Thanks


Will

Hi Will,

These are mails that have a few 'known security issues' in them, mailscanner will then try to remove these 'threads'.

currently enabled are:
- Iframe Tags
- Form Tags
- Script Tags
- WebBugs (the 1x1 blank spacer image used for mail tracking)
- Object Codebase Tags

I plan to disable this 'subject tagging' in the 0.3 version but you can do manually with the following command:

Code: Select all

sed -i '/^Disarmed Modify Subject / c\Disarmed Modify Subject = no' /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf
d.
Version eFa 4.x now available!
