Allowing .exe files in .zip files

[Rob Poe]

But I found that setting wasn't double uncompressing .zip files (new
viruses seem to be coming as double compressed .zip files)...

You can configure MailScanner so it does not enforce filename checks on
files that
are compresed in zipfiles.

# The maximum depth to which zip archives will be unpacked, to allow
for
# checking filenames and filetypes within zip archives.
# To disable this feature set this to 0.
# A common useful setting is this option = 0, and Allow
Password-Protected
# Archives = no. That block password-protected archives but does not
do
# any filename/filetype checks on the files within the archive.
Maximum Archive Depth = 0
