Are they all coming from the same domain or mail server?  If the mail server I would block the IP at the router or firewall.  Another option would be to deny SMTP from the domain

And a quick follow-up about this.  It appears that it is a spammer that is causing the hit.  Here's a sample of a MIME boundary that Declude is detecting as an invalid COM file:

------=_NextPart_000_00QP_00N2764VQ_00Y.154D01N0
Content-Type: image/gif;
        name="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Still though, this should get quietly blocked without a bounce because Declude detected the file as being a bogus COM file, just like it does/did with bogus ZIP, JPG and other files, and not use the banned extension bouncing when such a condition is detected.

I block .com files.

 

The last 3 days, I've been getting consistent blocking of spam messages referring to a gif file named .com:

Content-Type: image/gif;
        name="wdjgamexmail.com"

 

These are getting blocked, but the users are getting a little tired of the bannotify.eml messages that this triggers.

So I'm reluctantly forced to add SKIPIFEXT COM to my bannotify.eml file.

 

Has anyone else been seeing this?
