Re: RFC: virus handling

A bounce should *always* include a MIME attachment of type
message/rfc822-headers which contains the full headers from the original
mail. This makes it relatively easy to check on the receiving side if the
original "Received: from" headers are valid, and simply drop bounces that
relate to messages that were originally sent with forged headers.
Outstanding idea. If you (or anyone else on the list) already have a
tested procmail recipe for this, please share. If not, let's make one
and share it around...
Done that:
http://volker.dnsalias.net/soft/procmail/virusnotification.rc
As a quick guess, the received: recipe catches 1/2 - 2/3 of all
responses from those idiots, though I'm not recording exactly which
recipe triggers because I don't care which rubbish it is.
Anything can be improved, of course.
