About:
Email Security through Procmail (the Procmail Sanitizer) provides methods to sanitize email, removing obvious exploit attempts and disabling the channels through which exploits are delivered. Facilities for detecting and blocking Trojan Horse exploits and worms are also provided.

Release focus: Minor feature enhancements

Changes:
This release added default poisoning of the application/x-msdownload MIME type in response to a new worm. Full MIME-type poisoning support will be available shortly. This release was accelerated for security reasons.
