I saw a few weeks ago about a thread discussion that talked about the 'catching' of double layered extension files (i.e. file.shs.txt), however I couldn't find it in the archive. I wanted to see if these indeed get caught as banext (i.e. shs) , as I think this maybe a dull point if they contain a virus as the scanner should catch it and thus tip Declude to quarantine it, however my thoughts were if it was not a virus file. Thanks for the info.If there is a virus, the E-mail will get caught.
If there is no virus, but the extension is banned (for example, a file named "file.txt.shs" will get banned if you use "BANEXT SHS").
If you do not ban the file extension, and no virus is detected, the E-mail will be allowed through. This is the part where some people have requested a change, so that you would be able to ban any file with double extensions. However, this gets tricky to implement with such filenames as "yahoo.com.url" and ones with 4-character extensions ("file.jpeg.exe" versus "my.program.exe").
