Hello,
I know one can block file extensions in amavis using the
$banned_file_name_re variable. However, I would like to adopt a "deny by
default" approach and whitelist only a handful of file types.
I thought I could use a regex such as:
qr'^(?!.*\.gif|.*\.heic|.*\.jpg|.*\.jpeg|.*\.mp4|.*\.png|.*\.pdf|.*\.txt|.*\.wav|.*\.webm)(.*)$'i
However, even if I send an "allowed" file type (such as a PDF) the
"banned content" action is triggered with the following message:
"No viruses were found.
Banned name: text/plain,.asc
Content type: Banned
Internal reference code for the message is 891228-01/WX804g-n9ggX"
I am not sure why it is finding an "asc" file as only a PDF was
attached. Furthermore, even if I added ".asc" to the list above, it is
still flagging the email as having banned content.
I have tested the Regex on https://regexr.com/ and it seems to work as
expected. What might the issue be?
