filename.rules.conf Need to allow .exe without receiving {Virus?} in the Subject

[Matthew Bowman]

Hi,

Changing deny to allow or commenting out the deny lines then restarting
MailScanner should have worked.

What version of MS are you running, platform etc?

I would like to allow certain file types that were originally set to deny
in /etc/MailScaner/filename.rules.conf.  I tried to rem out "#" the two
deny lines listed below but the subject is still listing {Virus?} in the
subject line.  I also tried adding the 2 allow lines below to see if that
would help but still no luck.  I have also restarted MailScanner and
rebooted the server after making the changes.  Does anyone have any
recommendations?  Thanks for any suggestions.


allow \.com$ - -
allow \.exe$ - -


# These 2 added by popular demand - Very often used by viruses
# deny \.com$  Windows/DOS Executable
# deny \.exe$  Windows/DOS Executable
