Filetype rules - blocking exes not working

[Chris Yuzik]

Hi everyone,

 

We've noticed a bit of an oddity here. Files that are .exe are getting
through our mail system, and I'm not quite sure why.

 

In MailScanner.conf, we have:

 

                Filetype Rules = %rules-dir%/filetype.rules

 

In filetype.rules.conf, we have:

 

                deny      executable         No executables
No programs allowed

 

We also have:

 

                Maximum Archive Depth = %rules-dir%/max.archive.depth.rules

 

And the contents of max.archive.depth.rules are:

 

                FromOrTo:          default 0

 

I've checked and made sure that fields are separated by tabs.

 

I'm not sure what else I must be missing. Any ideas?

 

Chris
