FileName & FileType handling

[Mailing List]

Am I the only one wanting to have a forward setting for filename or
filetype filtering, the action could be in the filename.rules.conf file;
by default the action would be delete as it is right now.

Wouldn't it be also convenient to have the same type of functionality
for Viruses and HTML filtering.

Kindest regards,
Guy

If I understand Guy's request correctly, the problem is not to make a
ruleset, it is how to have an equivalent of "forward" setting like in
spam processing, but for Filetype/Filename checks.

I don't see such an option, but I might be wrong.
