bannotify.eml is the only template used for banned extensions or banned file names.  You can customize this file to be sent to anyone that you wish.  Note that this will only get sent if a banned extension or banned file name is detected AND Declude virus doesn't detect a vunerability or your virus scanner doesn't detect an infection.  The incidence of this being sent should be less than 1% of all Declude Virus blocked messages, and most will be the result of encoded zip files if you are configured for that (currently that can't be turned off).

The general thought for this is to bounce back to the %MAILFROM% instead of to the recipient, so you can inform the sender that they have sent a type of file that is not accepted on your server, and give them instructions as to how to send the file in a way that passes your system (such as zipping up executables).  If it wasn't for banned file names and encrypted archives being bounced, there would hardly be any of these sent out, and I expect that resolving that is high on Scott's list of enhancements, so the condition is hopefully temporary.  If you send these notices to local users, you might run the risk of having them tell you to turn them off for their account, in which case they might not realize that a legitimate message was blocked.

Maybe that all makes sense?

Hi,

 

The documentation shows that the bannotify.eml file send mail back to %MAILFROM%. Can I just modify this to send mail to %ALLRECIPS% instead or is there another .eml file that I should be using to inform the recipient that a banned attachment was dropped?

 

Thanx
