Hansen This is an ARexx-script for MailManager by Pino Aliberti. MM_AntiBomb checks the incoming mail-packets against the configured archivers. In case the packet is compressed with a known archiver, it compares the physical size of the packet with the size the packet would have if it was uncompressed. This compress-ratio is compared with a user configurable maximum ratio, if the compress-ratio of the checked packet exceeds this maximum, the packet is moved to the bad-directory, and a "BOMB_" is added in front of the packet-name. This way you can avoid filling your harddisk and crashing your system, if you receive a mailbomb. (A mailbomb is an archive, that isn't very big in size, but when uncompressed it will fill up to an unlimited number of megaytes! If your mailer tries to uncompress such an archive, it will eventually fill your harddisk, and your system will hang with the "device full - retry/cancel" requester.) :-( History of MM_AntiBomb ---------------------- 0.10 (04.05.96) Initial version --O-- Yours, Kent Hansen (kbh@imada.ou.dk) Team AMIGA Sysop TPV
