Hi, don't know what's wrong with your postfix, but I'd suggest to install a virus scanner and a mail filter like amavisd-new. Depending on your virus scanner, this offers additional protection against macro viruses, infected zip files and so on. Having exe files filtered out by postfix is still useful to protect against yet unknown mail worms. By, Holger Am Dienstag, 23. September 2003 09:04 schrieb Vaclav Brunnhofer:
Hello,
recently I have introduced to postfix the mime_header_check with the rule to bounce messages including attachments with executable files based on a suggestion in this list. I have tested that and it seemed to work fine. Nevertheless since Sunday I am receiving (and other users of the server, too) many mails containing the w32.swen.A. It's strange, as this mail contains a file xxxx.exe attached. Is there a way to modify the postfix conffiguration to stop these (and may be similar mails in the future) mails? Seems that this type of attachment bypasses somehow this filtre. I have checked the message, and did not find a difference with otrher types of attachments.
Thanks in advance
S pozdravem
