ASSP can not decode uuencoded emails which is how many of these are being 
sent.  It can not block based on attachment type if it can not see what is 
in the email.  Some of those will get caught by ClamAV if you are using that 
with ASSP, but not all, as it comes down to how new are your signature files 
and does Clam even have a solution for that particular file.  At this time 
ASSP file blocking is not absolutely reliable for this reason.

Subject: [Assp-user] Attachment blocking failure


Hello list,

This is the regular expression in Level 1 Blocked File Extensions of my
ASSP install

exe|scr|pif|vb[es]|js|jse|ws[fh]|sh[sb]|lnk|bat|cmd|com|ht[ab]

However, postcard.exe attachments are being delivered to my catch-all
address.  My understanding was that bad attachments would be bounced.

What have I done wrong?

Regards - Chris

FYI

Perl 5.008008
ASSP 1.2.6()
