Rulesets pointing to filename.rules.conf file have recently been
discussed here. Please search the mailing list archive.<br><br>
Basically,<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>Filename
Rules = /etc/MailScanner/filename.rules<br>
And in there put<br>
To:
user@domain.com<x-tab> </x-tab>/etc/MailScanner/allow.exe.conf
/etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.conf<br>
FromOrTo: default /etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.conf<br><br>
In allow.exe.conf put<br>
allow<x-tab> </x-tab>\.exe$<x-tab> </x-tab>-<x-tab> </x-tab>-<br>
(separate the fields with tab characters)<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab><br>

<br>
<font face="arial" size=2>I'm thinking I can add a rule set in place of
the .exe rule entry in the filename.rules.conf. Is this feasible, and if
so may I have a brief example.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="arial" size=2>Would it be better to make a rule for .exe
which refers to another rule file then:</font><br>
<font face="arial" size=2> 1) In that rule file, say if
To: <a href="mailto:customer@isp.com">customer@isp.com</a> 'another
rule.file' and 'Default deny'</font><br>
<font face="arial" size=2> 2) Then in the another
rule.file say From: parent branch accept' and deny the rest.</font><br>
<br>
<br>
<font face="arial" size=2>I know that is not the complete syntx, but just
a brief example. Is this worth pursuing or should I let it
go?</font><br>
<br>
<font face="arial" size=2>Thank you in advance.</font><br>
