Using deny.filenames.rules

[Michael Mansour]

Hi,

I've started to use the "Deny Filenames" option in
MailScanner, where I've defined:

Deny Filenames = %rules-dir%/deny.filenames.rules

and:

# cat rules/deny.filenames.rules
FromOrTo:       *@example.com    \.wmv$
FromOrTo:       default

This seems to work fine although when sending through
the "example.wmv" file, the message is detected as a
virus:

 Warning: E-mail viruses detected

and content being:

The virus detector said this about the message:
etc

We know the example.wmv file is not a virus but
instead if "Bad Content". 

Why does MailScanner say it's a virus?

Can MailScanner say "Bad Content" instead when using
the "Deny Filenames" option?

Thanks.

Michael.
