I just had an FP event generated by the SMTP preprocessor

# smtp: SMTP normalizer, protocol enforcement and buffer overflow
preprocessor smtp:   ports { 25 587 }   ignore_tls_data ignore_data
inspection_type stateful   normalize cmds   normalize_cmds { EXPN VRFY
RCPT }   alt_max_command_line_len 260 { MAIL }
alt_max_command_line_len 300 { RCPT }   alt_max_command_line_len 500 {
HELP HELO ETRN }   alt_max_command_line_len 255 { EXPN VRFY }


The event was "Attempted specific command buffer overflow: HELP, 941
chars", but the captured packet shows the word help was actually within
the DATA component of the SMTP stream - not a SMTP command. It was from
one of our internal Exchange servers to another Exchange server, so I
assume their initial SMTP dialog was vaguely compliant. :-)

This is snort 2.6.0.2 under RHE4
