Hi all, I finally found out, why MIMEdefang/sophie cannot cope with compression bombs like 42.zip, see my previous post http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/pipermail/mimedefang/2004-March/020666.html
In message_contains_virus_sophie(), the sophie daemon receives the path of the MIMEdefang working directory. Unfortunately, sophie does not register the call back functions provided by the SAVI library when doing a directory scan, so sophie cannot check if "loop_decompr_limit" is reached. entity_contains_virus_sophie() is save, this function performs a file check, where sophie is using the SAVI call back functions properly. I wonder if message_contains_virus_sophie() could be modified to do a file check on the entire message, as it is available after md_copy_orig_msg_to_work_dir_as_mbox_file(). Of course, sophie should be fixed. Unfortunately the author is currently unable to maintain sophie, so I don't expect a patch very soon. In the mean time, I will do virus checking in filter() by calling entity_contains_virus().
