Hi, Section 5.2.2.1 of RFC2046[1] describes "Message Fragmentation and Reassembly". This technique may be used to deliver large files through the Internet without delivering them in one large mail. For example, sending a 3MB large picture could be splitted into three 1MB chunks.
Research has shown that this technique only seems to be supported by Outlook Express, though. Unfortunately, this technique could be used to bypass mail filters since the message containing offending content would be splitted up into more parts, which aren't normally reassembled on the filter host. Do you feel it would be good for mail filters to reject all such messages? I.e. reject all parts of partial messages? 1. http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2046.txt Regards, Joey -- Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
