------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-04-29 01:02 ------- >so I'd say we should take the message/* parts, and ignore them entirely. I have to disagree. 1. message/rfc822 attachments that are spammy are typically not wanted 2. opening a message/rfc822 attachment *is* done automatically by some MUAs and is easy in most other MUAs 3. it's much easier than opening viruses, password protected ZIP files, etc. and the analogy doesn't really work -- virus scanners (when present) will catch those, they don't catch spam and spammers don't need someone to run a message/rfc822 -- they just need someone to look at it, so it will be considered safe by MUAs. It's 100% our job to scan ALL of the message, especially this which is so easy for us to scan. If spammers start attaching other formats, then we can write rules for that. We can't just mark message/rfc822-containing messages as spam, but we can check the contents and we should continue to do so. Not scanning them because we developers might get an occasional spam forwarded to us is a disservice to 99.99% of SpamAssassin users who don't want this crap. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
