At Fri Feb 19 17:19:06 2010 the virus scanner said:
MailScanner: Microsoft Access Shortcuts are dangerous in email (Spec_Power_New.mat)
Can anyone point me to correcting this.

<pre wrap=""><!---->Hi Erik, What you need to do is check out the filename.rules file
the line you are looking for is this one,
deny \.ma[dfgmqrstvw]$ Possible Microsoft Access Shortcut attack Microsoft Access Shortcuts are dangerous in email
you can change that deny to allow or take the "t" out of the \.ma[dfgmaqrstvw] string,
</pre>

Thanks for this. I have edited the above line to say:<br>
<br>
deny \.ma[dfgmqrsvw]$ Possible Microsoft Access Shortcut
attack Microsoft Access Shortcuts are dangerous in email<br>
#deny \.ma[dfgmqrstvw]$ Possible Microsoft Access Shortcut
attack Microsoft Access Shortcuts are dangerous in email<br>
<br>
but the .mat attachemnts are still being blocked.<br>
<br>
How can I put mail scanner in a debug mode so that I can see it
consider each rule in turn?<br>
<br>
best<br>
