Hi!

The filename.rules.conf is as an attachment. The rules is in the line 63.

Thanks!

Subject: RES: Allowing specific executable files


This is exactly what I need, but it didn't work. In /var/log/maillog, I

get the following error:


Sep 28 11:19:28 mail MailScanner[3212]: Possible syntax error on line 63

of /usr/local/etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.conf

Sep 28 11:19:28 mail MailScanner[3212]: Remember to separate fields with

tab characters!

Sep 28 11:19:28 mail MailScanner[3212]: Possible syntax error on line 64

of /usr/local/etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.conf

Sep 28 11:19:28 mail MailScanner[3212]: Remember to separate fields with

tab characters!


In the filename.conf.rules, the allow rule is:


allow   ImportWizard\.exe$      -       -

allow   ComsipUpload\.exe$      -       -


It's before the 'deny   \.exe$' rule and I'm using tabs between fields.


Could someone help me, please?


Thanks a lot.


Renata.

Yes. Add an allow rule near the top of filename.rules.conf, before the

deny rule for all .exe files.


allow   file1\.exe$     -       -

allow   file2\.exe$     -       -


deny   \.exe$          Windows/DOS

Executable

Executable DOS/Windows programs are dangerous in email


Note: make sure to use tabs not spaces between fields.
