Filename Restrictions Not working

[Kevin Miller]

So I'm thinking maybe it's a permissions issue?  If you put a file in the temp dir that MailScanner uses (probably /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming) and then try to scan that as the user that your MailScanner is running as, does it return a proper response?  What are the permissions on that directory?

Does virus scanning work as advertised if you send an eicar "infected" file?

Hi Kevin,

I've tried with linking directly to filename.rules.conf, I've tried using a filename.rules that points FromOrTo:                default                 \etc\MailScanner\filename.rules.conf , but neither approach is working.

What's especially odd is if explicitly define a blocked file type...say, \.exe$ directly in MailScanner.conf, even THAT doesn't work.
