I have been using qmail scanner since version 1.25  am now on 2.08

Recently I started getting a lot of valid mails being quarantined but 
were in fact valid. Particularly from aol mail addresses.

In trying to resolve the issue I got someone with an aol account to mail 
both my normal address and my yahoo address so I could compare what was 
happening. Mails to my servers were being quarantined and he would 
receive the bounce while the mails to the yahoo address simply did not 
arrive.

The bounces which he forwarded would arrive in both my yahoo account and 
through my server to my normal inbox without being quarantined.

I couldnt accept that every mail from aol was invalid so I pursued the 
issue. I established that he was logging in to aol with IE8 and on a 
whim asked if he would try using Firefox instead.

Mails now arrived at my yahoo account and did not trigger a quarantine 
event on my server but arrived.

I thought this might be of interest on this list.

After much debate I have chosen to switch off the mime checks
even though I know that it is IE 8 that is causing the issue.
