Hi Ken,

We delete the usual dangerous attachments by using this rule file:

B~(name=".*\.vbs"\s|name=".*\.shs"\s|name=".*\.scr"\s|name=".*\.pif"\s|name=
".*\.exe"\s|name=".*\.chm"\s|name=".*\.com"\s|name=".*\.lnk"\s|name=".*\.vbe
"\s|name=".*\.hta"\s|name=".*\.sct"\s):NUL
B~(name=.*\.vbs\s|name=.*\.shs\s|name=.*\.scr\s|name=.*\.pif\s|name=.*\.exe\
s|name=.*\.chm\s|name=.*\.com\s|name=.*\.lnk\s|name=.*\.vbe\s|name=.*\.hta\s
|name=.*\.sct\s):NUL
B~(begin 6.*\.vbs\s|begin 6.*\.shs\s|begin 6.*\.scr\s|begin 6.*\.pif\s|begin
6.*\.exe\s|begin 6.*\.chm\s|begin 6.*\.com\s|begin 6.*\.lnk\s|begin
6.*\.vbe\s|begin 6.*\.hta\s|begin 6.*\.sct\s):NUL

(note that the above should be "un-word-wrapped" to use just three lines)

Marius

One possibility is that the filename wasn't in quotes:

         name=ME_NUDE.MP3.scr

is just as legal as:

         name="ME_NUDE.MP3.scr"
