Re: MimeOLE V6.00.2900.2180 creates incorrect X- header

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I don't know that there is an RFC that dictates the format of the end of a header. And if the spam is not sent via OE, then the format can be quite different. Try Lotus Notes for instance for weirdness of formatting.

Right. And someone does not read posts before touting freeware with broken links
(http://service.schlund.de/service/download/magic29.zip). But that's not the point.

The OE client IS searching the SUBJECT header for the string '<<POTENTIAL-SPAM>>'. Here is what the client issues (POP3 commands) -

STAT
<messages?>
[yes - LIST]
[no - QUIT]
msgLoopLIST :
<last message?>
[yes - =>msgLoopRETR]
TOP n 0 (n = message number)
(search stream for 0xOD0A0D0A to ensure all headers sent)
<SUBJECT contains '<<POTENTIAL-SPAM>>'?>
[yes - issue DELE n command]
=>msgLoopLIST
msgLoopRETR :
{blah, blah, blah}

The search for the final header loops because of the malformed EOM (0x0D0A0A). This is a *normal* programming mechanism for
determining EOM in text-based messages.

Perhaps someone can suggest how to convince the spammers to upgrade rather than asking M$ to fix the rules engine?

You cannot do that with the limited rule set available for Outlook Express.
I'd suggest a 3rd party program to do what you have in mind such as Magic
mail monitor:

MagicMailMonitor
http://service.schlund.de/service/download/alteservice/magic.zip

You can set it up to always run at startup and use it to quickly monitor and
delete messages. Outlook Express can only check for "text" in the To, From,
Subject before downloading the message. To delete a message from the server
based on some other line in the headers using a message rule will not work.
Sorry.

As for users who are still running v. 6.00.2900.2180, is there some reason
that they are not installing updates from Microsoft. Such a version is
really out of date.
