Checking Suspected E-Mails

[Kaplan, Andrew H.]

The report that I am seeing is the following:

 

MailScanner: Files containing  CLSID's are trying to hide their real type
(TIBOR_BERNER{3EDC67F9-93A4-42C3-AEC1-502D90D9A895}.html)

 

If the resumes were sent as HTML files, it is possible they are innocuous.
Still, it probably would be better to have the sender resend them in a format

other than HTML. Your thoughts?

The useful information is in the Attachment-Warning.txt attachment that has been
attached to his message, in replacement of the original file.

Read *all* of it.

Hi there -

 

One of users of our server received several e-mails indicating that a "Bad
Filename was Detected". The e-mails in question

were resumes that were sent to him from a recruiting company. The user has asked
if there is a way to determine if the

e-mails are truly suspect. 

 

What would be the best way to determine this? Thanks.
