------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-03-30 01:57 ------- In reply to comment #10, is not the epilog supposed to be small? After all, if it is to be discarded (according to the RFCs), what would be the purpose in making it large, possibly larger than the legitimate body of the mail itself? Maybe there is no point in scanning an epilog that is 200KB in size. Or 1KB in size. Maybe just add one point to the message for every KB of size of the epilog and be done with it. For less than 27KB (about the standard size for an image spam these days) scan the epilog, as it is no bigger than a typical spam mail that you do feel is worth scanning. The argument that putting large quantities of garbage in the epilog will prevent spam scanning or use up system resources doesn't hold. Since this is supposed to be ignored by MUAs, then by definition it is NOT supposed to have valid content. It is sufficient to detect that it DOES contain valid content and score that fact appropriately. Detailed scanning on "typically sized" content would merely be a bonus. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
