filetype rules (was Re: Pregunta sobre Mailscanner)

[Mariano Absatz]

Hola Henry,

I'll answer in English so the list can profit from it too... I'm not
working with MailScanner right now so I'm not active in the list...
anyway, here it goes:

for what I see in the logs, the filetype rules don't seem to be
running at all... what do you have (in MailScanner.conf) in the
following entries:
%etc-dir% =
File Command =
File Timeout =
Filetype Rules =
Log Permitted Filetypes =

also, at the shell prompt say:
$ which file

and tell me what it says.

If I have to make a guess, 'File Command' may be blank or wrong...
