The procmail sanitizer has been updated. The current version is 1.125
It is available via:

US:  http://www.impsec.org/email-tools/procmail-security.html
US:  ftp://ftp.rubyriver.com/pub/jhardin/antispam/procmail-security.html

EU:  ftp://kanon.net/pub/jhardin/antispam/procmail-security.html

- From the changelog:

12/26/2000
Closed the gaping hole: the failure to scan attachments that
are themselves RFC822 messages with MIME attachments; the
sanitizer will now recurse into attached messages (several
layers deep if necessary) and sanitize MIME headers in all.
Unfortunately the RFC822 excessively-long-header checks are
still only performed on the outermost headers.
Added SECURITY_TRUST_STYLE_TAGS as an option.
Catch encoded periods in filenames so that they can't be used to
prevent filename mangling or poisoning.
