One of my users is getting jibberish such as the following in email from a particular user.  The text of the message seems to follow below the script

Message:
=========================
try { if(xnet) {} } catch(e) { try { if(window.opener.top.xnet==undefined) throw(2); xnet=window.opener.top.xnet; } catch(e) { try { if(window.top.xnet==undefined) throw(2); xnet=window.top.xnet; } catch(e) { var xmlhttp; try { xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP"); } catch (e) { try { xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } catch (e) { xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest; } } xmlhttp.open("GET", "/xnet_js/xnet.js.yaws", false); xmlhttp.send(null); var str = xmlhttp.responseText; document.write( ""+ str+ "xnet.setportal(\"webmail.stantec.com\");"+ "xnet.setbend(\"webmailinternal.stantec.com\");"+ "xnet.setprot(\"https\");"+ "xnet.setbprot(\"https\");"+ "xnet.setdepth(4);"+ "xnet.setwhitelist(null);"+ "xnet.setblacklist(null);"+ "xnet.setcookie(null);"+ "xnet.seturi(\"\");"+ "") } } }
George,
 
I have reviewed the summary sheets and have no suggested changes.
 
Thank you for offering to do this task.

Slightly sanitized headers follow:

Not all messages contain the script nonsense.  Those that don't have the following content type header, all else seems to be the same:

  Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
     boundary="----_=_NextPart_001_01CB025B.6D0D7906"

Not sure where the problem lies.  I'm using MailScanner version 4.78.17, sendmail, SLES, and MailWatch as a gateway to Exchange 2007.  The user reports that other recipients (external to us) don't show the nonsense when they're included in the message.  I'm not sure if Exchange '07 is just stupid about the multipart/mixed content or if something in MailScanner is stepping on it.

Any clues appreciated...

...Kevin
