| But catching this as an attack completely stops Eudora from working, as it
| uses 1 MIME boundary per message, tacking things on the end as necessary
| for other bits of the MIME structure.
|
| So it's really an artificial test of the software that the guys who own
| testvirus.org are trying to sell. Allowing this test to pass would
actually
| break quite a few messages. So I have no real intention of changing things
| so that the test passes.
|
| Don't for a minute assume that testvirus.org is "independent" just because
| it is a .org domain. It's not. Check the whois record to see who really
| owns it.

Ok, thanks for explaining this to me Julian.
The good part of this all is, the other 24 test messages are being
stopped by MailScanner! I've been using MailScanner for a long time now
and I am often amazed by your "addictive" dedication!

Keep up the good work and thanks a lot for this great piece of software!

Oh and btw, 3.30.3-1 is working like a charm so far.
