Hi  Martin,

I have not changed any rules and the config file is almost the same.  After
upgrade I've run upgrade_MailScanner_conf  command and then I differed the
new file with the existing .config.  Nothing is really changed except MCP &
Advanced setting which is new for 4.35.11.

Rules are the same:
to deny zip/gifs/jpegs and other attachments.

I'm testing any attachments, and all attachments are quarantined correctly,
notification is sent to Postmaster correctly but the recipient gets
nothing. Either notification nor original message with the stripped
attachments is passed to recipient.

Any thoughts?

Magda
