see there is no harm on giving user the right to send *.exe, Your clamav can still stop them if it is infected. Read the wiki there is a block diagram which shows the 3 steps of mail scanner.<br>1. Spam check<br>2. ClamAV for virus
<br>3,. Attachment manipulation.<br><br>So if you have virus on *.exe this will stop the mails reaching the user,<br><br>But hee... still it is risky , most of the viruses are *.exe file, & if your freshcalm didnt work or clamav database fails to identify any new virus , then your are @#$%^&*!@#$%^&!@#$%^&.. boy

Hello, if I allow .exe's in filename.rules.conf and<br>filetype.rules.conf will MailScanner let viruses through or will<br>Clamav stop them?<br><br>I have a mailserver with few people who are sending small programs but<br>
MailScanner always stops them, so I am trying to find a way to let it<br>through without opening up for viruses.<br><br>Thanks!<br>--<br>MailScanner mailing list<br><a href="mailto:mailscanner@lists.mailscanner.info">mailscanner@lists.mailscanner.info
