Re: [Declude.Virus] Spam .com files being blocked.

[Matt]

The problem has been growing on my end.  This morning I had over 200 of these bounce back to my postmaster account and my spool has 100 more of these waiting. Declude is detecting the "bogus" COM file extension, but still generating a bounce.  I believe this to be in error and in need of fixing.  My recollection is that when Declude detects a "bogus" file type, it treats it as a vulnerability and then it should not create a bounce according to banned extensions, yet these things are still bouncing.  Here's a sample of my logs: 03/16/2005 00:00:31 Qbd6eb1a701040a54 MIME file: [text/html][quoted-printable; Length=5395 Checksum=490002] 03/16/2005 00:00:31 Qbd6eb1a701040a54 MIME file: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [base64; Length=6414 Checksum=850887] 03/16/2005 00:00:31 Qbd6eb1a701040a54 Banning file with COM extension [image/gif]. 03/16/2005 00:00:31 Qbd6eb1a701040a54 Found a bogus .com file 03/16/2005 00:00:31 Qbd6eb1a701040a54 Scanned: Banned file extension.

I block .com files.   The last 3 days, I've been getting consistent blocking of spam messages referring to a gif file named .com: Content-Type: image/gif;         name="wdjgamexmail.com"   These are getting blocked, but the users are getting a little tired of the bannotify.eml messages that this triggers. So I'm reluctantly forced to add SKIPIFEXT COM to my bannotify.eml file.   Has anyone else been seeing this? -- ===================================================== MailPure custom filters for Declude JunkMail Pro. http://www.mailpure.com/software/ =====================================================
