Thanks. but block the Content-Type doesn't work. maybe it's the attachement
Content-Type not the main mail header.

we tried the following line but fail

audio/x-wav            Virus-Content-Type:     MIME Exploit


we found that this virus email always content the mail header

X-Mailer: EBT Reporter v 2.x

so we block thsi mail header instead. please update me if there are any fix.
Many thanks.

Yup. And I've checked and I can see it's a real problem.

Again, what's happened is some bright spark has found another MIME flaw in
Outlook, whereby it reads the message as having an attachment, whereas
something MIME-compliant like reformime just goes "Huh!?!"

The better perlscanner match would be something like (untested!)

.*type=.*<TAB>Virus-Content-Type:<TAB>MIME Exploit

...as no Content-Type: line I know of contains "type=".

I hope I'm right on that. The RFCs I've just looked at implie that isn't a
valid option, so it looks like a Microstupid extension.

[when will it end?!?!]

I will contact the author of reformime, but frankly I really don't think
this is a problem for him to solve.
