More on the issue

We discovered that certain messages that were malformed, would lead us down a code path that got us caught in an infinite loop. A bug fix in 8.5.2, takes us down the code path where the exposure is which 8.5.1 did not. We are finding that certain anti-spam products that modify the messages, contribute to putting the message in the malformed state, i.e. Starting a section but not closing it properly. It is good practice to handle this case in our code. We handle other similar cases defensively all throughout MIME but this case was not handled. Preliminary testing of the fix is going well. We are undergoing production deployment testing internally and externally and as mentioned in the technote, if everything goes smoothly, will have a fix posted on fix central by Sep 8th. Thank you for your patience and we are taking this test escape back into our processes to determine where our coverage was insufficient so we can improve.
