No, that's not possible at all.
That's about the only
explanation i can think of for the behaviour i'm seeing -
although now
i think of it, doesn't MD create a temp dir under /var/spool/
MIMEDefang
for each message it's processing?
Yes, and the temp directory is named the same as the sendmail queue-
ID,
which is guaranteed never to repeat for N years, where N is a very
large
number. :-)
ah i thought so, thanks for clearing that up..
Also i'm wondering about the '-f Work $path' of the original line as
'Work' doesn't seem to be a perl variable or a parameter that (my
version of) ytnef seems to know about.
mimedefang.pl unpacks INPUTMSG into a directory called Work, under the
current working directory.
which is the aforementioned qid-named directory, yes?
I'm still collecting info from my users but latest clue might be that
the offending filenames start with ._ - which suggests the
possibility of Mac OS X resource forks to me (and explains why
they're 0 byte length) but until i know more about where the
attachments originated from i can't be certain. But perhaps a regex
somewhere isn't dealing with dot files properly?
..S.
