The procmail sanitizer has been updated. The current version is 1.127
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:

02/03/2001 (1.127)
Added the <LAYER> tag to HTML defanging; this is
primarily of interest to people running webmail programs.
The sanitizer now recurses into multipart attachments in addition to
RFC822 attachments; the only hole left now is defanging BASE64-encoded
HTML attachments.
If a file attachment does not have a filename specified, a default
filename will be provided; this should prevent some social-engineering
attacks on Outlook users.
Modified the Office Macro scanner a bit; some code used in
default-template infector macros was being ignored, and some false
positives were being generated.
