When I take a look at the messages I see they're read receipts relating to an email a staff member has sent. (the subject has a READ: prefix). The examples I can remember have been from large financial institutions in the UK so getting though to their IT department is unlikely from my position as a SMB IT Support person. A censored example is available at http://pastebin.com/1qXP5suv To my untrained eye I believe there are too many MIME-Version: 1.0 headers (lines 33 and 50) but I'm unsure if this is a problem specific to this group of senders or a wider problem. I can see from the headers that the senders organisation is using a exchange server but I can't tell what version (perhaps a incompatibility with the latest version?). Is anyone else having similar problems? Also, is it possible to somehow prevent Amavisd sending notifications for 'Duplicate header field' against only "MIME-Version"' (eg, I still want 'Duplicate header field: "Subject"' notifications) and what would be the implications? Could anything malicious sneak though? (I have full policy configuration backed by MySQL database) Regards Stephen Scotter Systems Consultant T. +44 (0) 7970 463925
