I am using reformime with qmail and my own qmail-queue replacement for use with a virus scanner (sophos).

Recently I had a virus come through. A close look revealed that the header of the message was faulty, it looked like:

------------------------------------------------------------------------ MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="bound" X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ (look at the indented ie. continuation lines starting with "X-") Due to this faulty header reformime failed to decompose the message into the sections. I got no section at all. It reported:

------------------------------------------------------------------------ section: 1 content-type: multipart/mixed content-name: content-transfer-encoding: 8bit charset: iso-8859-1 line-count: 169 body-line-count: 127

------------------------------------------------------------------------ and that was it. No files where created (reformime -i -xSCAN_ < INPUT) the virus scanner had nothing to scan and (my fault, programming flaw) the message went through. I have now integrated a check and if reformime doesn't create any file I reject the message. Adjusting the indented X- fields to the beginning of the line makes reformime decompose the message correctly in its parts, however.

Our customers Outlook managed to decode the message though. Luckily they also have a local virus scanner running so no harm was done.

Is this a known problem? Is there a fix? I am running reformime from maildrop version 1.3.4. I have downloaded 1.3.5 and it has the same problem.

Thanks
