Re: I'd rather not get the message

If you are referring to the message "Re: [Snort-users] portscsan.log 
summary." I'd agree, that attachment is perfectly valid. There is no 
suspicious extension, and no virus code present, no reason other than 
accidental misconfiguration or blatant "wrong headedness" to block the 
attachment.

I personally suspect accidental misconfiguration (ie: a list of allowed and 
denied extensions that is buggy when there is no extension at all.) as I 
find it hard to believe any mail admin intentionally block text-formatted 
perl script attachments. There are a lot of wrong-headed sysadmins out 
there (ie myself) but I find that one more wrong-headed than I would belive.
