That's David's point; they're using file signature checking; not SMTP
headers.
SMTP headers are just as easily spoofed as HTTP headers and therefore
*not* to be trusted.

David or any one, what is the line that would be seen in the body of an
e-mail indicating that it is a wmf file time picture in the body of an
e-mail?

For WebMon3 users:

 

As there are more than 50 variants of this exploit in wild, we added wmf
real file-type signature checking so now you can block this filetype
"whatever" extension content type it hides under.

However you need to update to build 20060102  or later version:

ftp://ftp.gfisoftware.com/temp/Netmon/del/20060102/webmonitor3.exe

Handle with care as this version is currently under testing and once
proves bug free we will replace version of WM3 on our main site.

 

With Kind Regards DavidFA.

 

P.S: Please trust info/email like this (about WM3 updates) only if they
point to *.gfisoftware.com or *.gfi.com domains for updates.
