Hi all,

I've got an issue with amavisd-new banning emails which start with a
special character (accented E, Hungarian) like in "és " as ms-exe.
System is SLES 10 SP2, amavisd-new is fairly recent, I've got to look up
the exact version.

Enconding is:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-2
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

It looks like the Hex representation of the character and MS-DOS COM is
the same, 0xe9.

Funny enough in newer SuSE versions the line

0      byte            0xe9            DOS executable (COM)

is commented out in /usr/share/misc/magic, in SLES 10 SP2 it's
uncommented. So if amavisd-new is using "file" (it does, does it?) it's
blocked correctly.

But I need to have those emails get through. So my dilemma is:

-Should I just comment the line and risk old style DOS COM executables
to go through (pretty rare occurence I would say but anyway...)

-Or does anybody know a better way? I reckon using quoted-printable as
transfer encoding instead of 8bit would avoid the problem, too?

Would be nice to get some thoughts.


Cheers,
Goetz
