I tested
SKIPIFVIRUSNAMEHAS Encrypted .ZIP file
Works fine, even though I cannot use it, because there is only one
banext.eml

It would be nice to have more than banext.eml, like banext1.eml, banext2.eml
...
so we can customize some of those to our needs

Agreed.  It is becoming increasingly essential to have a more flexible
notification mechanism.

Scott, this is not a reasonable solution, bouncing the BANnotify message

would be better.

I am probably bouncing about 0.5% of my total traffic to a combination
of banned file names (DELETED0.TXT) and these password protected zips.
All of these bounces are unwanted, and I even bounced one to a virus
that forged my own account.

If I was to turn off BANnotify, then I am going to get myself into big
trouble with my clients for blocking the occasional legitimate script or

executable without any sort of notification.  This just simply isn't an
option.

I suggested a work around this morning.  Though I don't expect a fix
immediately, the BANNAME issue has been around for a while, and it
produces a significant amount of unintended bounce traffic on it's own.

I believe that you can fix this easily by allowing for the following
variables for notifications:

1) Allow us to specify different extensions for different types of
blocks, i.e.

    BANZIP   EXE
    BANEZIP   EXE
    BANEXT   EXE
    BANNAME   DELETED0.TXT

1) Populate a variable for different names for different blocked
extensions/names, i.e.

    BANEXT-[extension]
    BANZIP-[extension]
    BANEZIP-[extension]
    BANNAME-[file name]

2) Allow these variable names to be tagged along with viruses, i.e.

    ONLYSENDIFBANHAS
    SKIPIFBANHAS

This I believe would allow us to handle any extension blocked by any of
the 4 different means with unique messages if need be, and the
implementation is fairly straightforward.  For instance, if you wanted
to handle EZIP's with an EXE, SCR, BAT, COM or PIF within it with a
message to the recipiant instead of the sender, you would do the
following:

    ONLYSENDIFBANHAS   BANEZIP-EXE
    ONLYSENDIFBANHAS   BANEZIP-SCR
    ONLYSENDIFBANHAS   BANEZIP-BAT
    ONLYSENDIFBANHAS   BANEZIP-COM
    ONLYSENDIFBANHAS   BANEZIP-PIF

If you were only blocking those five types within EZIP's, then you could

actually shorthand it with the following:

    ONLYSENDIFBANHAS   BANEZIP

If this doesn't make perfect sense, then I'm on crack :)

Matt
