Mail::...tiVirus(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Mail::...tiVirus — bestie, this is the manual page for the AntiVirus plugin, and it's giving simple anti-virus tests. That's the whole vibe 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

okay so here's how you actually wire it up, no cap:

loadplugin     Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::AntiVirus

body MICROSOFT_EXECUTABLE eval:check_microsoft_executable()
body MIME_SUSPECT_NAME    eval:check_suspect_name()

like, that's it. that's the setup. slay 🦋

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the MICROSOFT_EXECUTABLE rule? it's out here doing a vibe check on your mail, and it's looking for 3 possibilities in the message — specifically in any application/* or text/* part of the message. three little red flags, three chances to catch something sus 🔥

here's the breakdown, bestie:

• in the text parts, it goes looking for a uuencoded executable start string 👀
• in the application parts, it's checking for filenames ending in an executable extension 💀
• and in the application parts again, it hunts for a base64 encoded executable start string ✨

three checks, one rule, main character energy fr fr 👑
