All zip files are being blocked

[Raymond Dijkxhoorn]

Hi!

>>>>> What setting do I need to change without comprimising on security?

>> # The maximum depth to which zip archives will be unpacked, to allow for
>> # checking filenames and filetypes within zip archives.
>> #
>> # Note: This setting does *not* affect virus scanning in archives at all.
>> #
>> # To disable this feature set this to 0.
>> # A common useful setting is this option = 0, and Allow Password-Protected
>> # Archives = no. That block password-protected archives but does not do
>> # any filename/filetype checks on the files within the archive.
>> Maximum Archive Depth = 0

>> What do you have there?

> Maximum Archive Depth = 3
>
> Actually I have never changed this value. Looks like I need to change it to zero

If you want to disable that, yes.

Bye,
Raymond.
