Hello,
I myself am looking for understanding of how this Silent vs Non-Forging
viruses works and I am not seeing the behaviour I wish.
To be clear, I want to warn nobody about anything, except for Klez and
passworded Zips. Here is my current configuration:
Deliver Disinfected Files = no
Silent Viruses = HTML-IFrame HTML-Codebase HTML-Form All-Viruses
Still Deliver Silent Viruses = no
Non-Forging Viruses = Klez/ Zip-Password
Allow Password-Protected Archives = no
Now, any user sent a password-protected zip file will receive the mail,
however with the attachment stripped and adequate warning. Good.
The user who sent the mail with the zip-password does not get warned
that he sent an illegal mail. Not good.
Also, if a user receives a Worm.Bagle.Gen-zippwd, the user will have
that email delivered without the attachment, and the warning that a file
was not delivered to him. Even worse!
Nobody sending Klez mails are warned they have Klez on their computer.
My question is; how do I configure MailScanner to warn a sender he has
Klez, warn a sender and a receiver that the zip-protected mails were
blocked, and not warn the receiver that we blocked a zipped-Bagle that
he did not expect to receive anyway? What am I interpreting wrong in
the way to configure this?
Thanks,
Chris
