Hi,
I am running postfix 2.2.4 on Solaris 8 with amavisd-new.2.3.2,
SpamAssassin 3.1.0 and Clamav 0.8.7.1 as an AV/AS gateway to my main
email system. Few weeks ago I uncommented following line of my
amavisd.conf to allow .exe files in zip format. I have tested simply by
compressing single exe file and sending it thourgh my mail server and it
was successfully deliver.

------------------------------------------------------------
[ qr'^\.(zip|rar|arc|arj|zoo)$'=> 0 ],  # allow any within such archives
------------------------------------------------------------


Today, one our users tried send a zip files containing bunch of files
(some of them were .exe and .zip also), but the sender received a
bounced message with following error.

------------------------------------------------------------
Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 550 5.7.1 Message content rejected, id=04518-07 
- BANNED: multipart/mixed | 
application/x-zip-compressed,.zip,RouterSim.zip |
.exe,.exe-ms,RouterSim2....
------------------------------------------------------------

Can some one tell me why this double standard? Why it works with my
tests but not with users sending .exe files in zip format.

Thanks,
MJ
