Re: MimeOLE V6.00.2900.2180 creates incorrect X- header

Was this a question or a statement? -
Are you seeing the MSIMN.EXE in the task manager go to near 100% CPU utilization when this happens.

No. OE6 is a 'well-behaved' Windoze application, relinquishing the CPU to the Windoze message loop periodically.

You too (RTFP)?
If you change the message rule action to something other than Delete from Server (or Do not download), such as move to another
folder, does the same problem occur?

OE 6.00.2800.1807 client successfully downloads the defective

correctly applies a 'local' mail rule -

Apply this rule after the message arrives
Where the Subject line contains '<<POTENTIAL-SPAM>>'
and
Where the message is from the Some Network account
Delete it

Face it, OE6's rules engine is broken. There is no NG fix for this other than an MVP sending in a defect report.

Are you using any anti-virus set to scan e-mail or a anti-spam program
or POP3 proxy that sits between OE and the POP3 server that might be
causing problems?

Correct. The POP3 server sends the headers and then the OE rules
engine loops when it encounters the defective empty header when it
is directed to 'Delete it from server'.

I'm not clear on what your issue is.

Are you saying that OE goes into a loop and hangs when using the
message
rule?

As for the TOP command, the POP3 server sends a period on a line by
itself to indicate that it has sent the whole response. This is the
same as the RETR command. It's up to the POP3 server to determine
where
the header ends.

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.

The mail rule is -

Where the Subject line contains '<<POTENTIAL-SPAM>>'
and
Where the message is from the Some Network account
Delete it from server

But the rule engine loops searching for the required 0x0D0A0D0A

The problem appears with M$'s X-MimeOLE V6.00.2900.2180 headers.
Messages
produced with the X-MimeOLE V6.00.2900.2962 contain the
required CR (0x0D).

OE 6.00.2800.1807 client successfully downloads the defective
messages and
correctly applies a 'local' mail rule -

Apply this rule after the message arrives
Where the Subject line contains '<<POTENTIAL-SPAM>>'
and
Where the message is from the Some Network account
Delete it

I want to continue avoiding the complete message download by
having
OE
scan the headers and delete them directly from the POP3
server.
