I agree with this, if there is a misconfiguration I would like to see
everything blocked just to be safe and errors written to the logs.

Subject: RE: [Declude.Virus] Ban/Allow extensions

| 
| This is what we are thinking of.
| 
|          [1] Keep the BANEXT option the way it is (banning specified 
| extensions).
|          [2] Add an "ALLOWEXT" option (banning all extensions 
| except the 
| ones listed).
|          [3] If both BANEXT and ALLOWEXT exist, allow all 
| extensions, and 
| generate an error in the logs.
| 
|                          -Scott

OK...

I think in case of a collision [3] it would be safer to ban all
extensions and generate an error in logs. In case the log isn't reviewed
quickly enough a: the sysop would likely be prompted by a user, b:
nothing ugly would suddenly get through in case of a configuration
mishap.

my $.02.
