There is an error in qmail-scanner which I consider critical. I have QS configured to block emails which have executable content attached, e.g. *.exe, *.bat and so on. Unfortunately it is possible for an attacker to bypass this. This happens when the name of the attachment itself is encoded. This happened to me last week when I got several mails with a virus which was not recognised by my virus scannes at that time.
I attached an email showing the error. The critical lines are: Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="=?koi8-r?B?NC5wZGYuZXhl?=" Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="=?koi8-r?B?NC5wZGYuZXhl?=" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Regards, Werner
