Security Issues using SMTP in IIS to receive Email??
|

| Michael 2004-02-08, 8:41 am |
| Hello,
I am using IIS to receive email from an application that formats its
email body into XML. I have a receive file function that watches the
drop directory in ../inetpub/mailroot/drop/ for *.eml files. A
Preprocessor is called from the receive function to trim off the email
header information leaving the XML body to be submitted to BizTalk.
My question is, are there any security issues that may evolve from
this solution given the wide range of viruses that pass through email?
If so, what kind of issues should I account for? Thanks for any
assistance you may provide.

I can't think of any issues. You are not executing any code within the
email, so you should be fine.
