I tried now with different files and found why certain files ar not blocked with BANNAME.
At the moment it's not possible to block file attachments if the name contains special characters.


For example "Norton Antivirus gel�scht1.txt" the german version of "Norton Antivirus deleted1.txt" will pass the filter even if there is a BANNAME entry for this file.

Now I've tried to use the encoded filename "Norton Antivirus gel=F6scht1.txt" but the file is still passing the filter. :-(

That's actually because of a flaw in a Windows function that prevents some parsing from working properly if high-bit characters are encountered, and requires a lot of work for a workaround. We do have this in our suggestion database, but it is not currently a high priority (since the BANNAME option was originally designed to block viruses, not virus notifications or other types of unwanted mail).
