Hi, For the longest time we've been permitting ZIP files but rejecting RAR files due to the frequency of viruses and malicious code being transmitted through this file type, as well as the general lack of familiarity users have with the RAR format.
It seems like it's now the case that it's more prevalent, and there aren't as many that are being rejected. I was just wondering what the general consensus was on whether you permit RAR files through your amavisd system or do you still block them along with EXE and COM files? Are they still frequently used as virus vectors, or do you feel confident enough in your virus scanner to catch any malicious code or viruses that might be contained in the RAR files reliably? Thanks, Alex
