It's known behavior (i.e. default and Symantec knows about it).  If you
want someone to send you a zip file that contains a file with an
extension you are blocking, you can either have them password-protect it
(which Symantec can't scan - assuming you are not blocking encrypted
containers), or have them rename the file in the zip.

Conversation: SAV for SMTP Gateways - blocking extensions within ZIP??
Subject: SAV for SMTP Gateways - blocking extensions within ZIP??



I am running Symantec Antivirus for SMTP gateways version 3.1.0.29.
This has an option to block attachments by extension, but this blocks
files even when they are in ZIP files.  The Symantec (Norton) antivirus
that runs on our exchange server (5.5) has a registry setting to control
whether or not it looks in ZIP files for bad extension (it always scans
for viruses in ZIP files). 

Does anyone know how to configure SAV for SMTP gateways to allow "bad"
extensions when they are stored in ZIP files?

Tom
