Re: False positives with SMTP RCPT TO overflow rule

[Chris Green <cmg () sourcefire com>]

Just as an FYI, these alerts are a bit more common than they used to
be because of a change in stream reassembly. In snort 1.9 series,
we've changed the dsize keyword to return 0 if its a rebuilt packet.
Better analysis capabilities are in the works but this mitigates
things a bit.

Cheers,
Chris

Don't use a big word where a diminutive one will suffice.
